for user in $(userinfo -b | cut -f1)
do
	sid=$(sid_$user)
	profile=$(registry -r -p -k "$plist"\\$sid -n ProfileImagePath)
	# Ignore an error if already loaded...
	registry -s -L $profile/ntuser.dat -k users -n $sid
	registry -s -k \
	    'users\'$sid'\Software\Mortice Kern Systems\Toolkit\Shell' \
