Applying VDM Configuration to Another User Profile

Virtual Display Manager (VDM) stores its user-specific configuration in the Windows Registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Teknica Software, Inc.. This location contains all settings unique to the logged-in user, ensuring that each user on the system can maintain their own independent configuration. You can verify or modify these settings using the Registry Editor (regedit.exe) by navigating to this path.

If you want to apply an existing Virtual Display Manager (VDM) configuration to another user’s profile, follow these simple steps using batch scripts.

Step 1: Export Current User’s Configuration

  1. Log in to the user whose VDM settings you want to copy.
  2. Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
  3. Run the following command to export the settings:
    reg export "HKCU\Software\Teknica Software, Inc." "C:\VDM_Backup\TeknicaSoftware.reg" /y   
            
                    
        
  • This creates a backup file at C:\VDM_Backup\TeknicaSoftware.reg.

Step 2: Apply Configuration to Another User

  1. Log in as the target user (the user who should receive the configuration).
  2. Open Command Prompt (cmd.exe).
  3. Run the following command to remove any existing settings and import the new ones:
    reg delete "HKCU\Software\Teknica Software, Inc." /f & reg import "C:\VDM_Backup\TeknicaSoftware.reg"   
            
                    
        
  •  This removes existing VDM settings and applies the saved configuration.

Important Notes

  • This method works for users on the same machine.
  • If applying to a different machine, copy TeknicaSoftware.reg to the target system before running the import command.
  • The process does not require administrator privileges since it modifies HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
