User's shortcut bar

[Rick]

I have a user who runs Office XP on a Windows 2000 Pro pc
and his hard drive is going bad so I am replacing it.
I copied his DocumentsSettings/username folder and other
personal data to a network folder and then removed the
hard drive. I installed the new hard drive, and with a
system restore disk, reinstalled the OS and Office suite.
I then copied over his "user" folder back to Documents and
Settings, then had him log in but it then created a new
folder in Documents and Settings with the user's name
followed by a ."domain name". I then copied the contents
of his old user directory into this new one and his
desktop and favorites are back, but his shortcut bar is
brand new. This guy had hundreds of things on his
shortcut bar and I don't want him to have to manually put
them back in. Where is the settings file for his old
shortcut bar?

If you have the shortcuts but not the OSB customizations then you may
need this branch of the Registry::
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Shortcut Bar
