User Change in Windows 2000 affects DELPHI

[NuWood]

Hi

I have used DELPHI for years logged into my PC running W2k.

Now my company is growing I have a domain which I wish to login to instead of to the PC itself. This is fine except that when I run DELPHI all my extra VCL is no longer there.

Does anyone know of a way of migrating your DELPHI settings from one user to another. I would like to avoid reinstalling all my VCL again.

The problem is because the PC sees me as a seperate user when I login to the domain as the one that I login to the PC as so settings are seperate.

Thanks in advance

A few steps to solve this:
- Login as the old user/context, so Delphi works fine again
- Export using regedit, from HKEY_CURRENT_USER the Software\Borland\Delphi\x.0 (correct version, 5.0/6.0/7.0/8.0) to a file, (it's best to place thes file in C:\DATA or C:\REGISTER)
- Repeat above step for VCL packages that keep their own registry settings in HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- Login in the new user/context
- Double-click the .reg file(s) previously exported, and allow to get it imported
- Check if Ok by running Delphi
