FreshOnions · 02-07-2007, 01:31 AM

Hi, can anyone tell me how I can edit the NTUSER.dat file, I'm using XP home ed. but am unable to successfully edit this file as I keep getting told the file is in use by another program ?

Thanks

you'd almost need to install a second instance of windows to edit it
