Putty for all users on a PC

You can export the PuTTY registry key on source windows machine

Click on Start -> Run -> and enter the following regedit command in the run dialog box, which will place the PuTTY registry key and value on your desktop in the putty-registry.reg file. Please note that the name of the registry key (Simon Thatham) is the author of PuTTY.

regedit /e "%userprofile%\desktop\putty-registry.reg" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Simontatham

OR

You can also launch the registry and interactively export the registry key value as shown below. Click on Start -> Run -> regedit -> Click File menu -> Click Export menu-item -> Enter HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Simontatham in the "Selected branch" -> Save the putty-registry.reg to your desktop.

Then it's just a matter of pushing it out to your users via login script, or something of that nature :)

http://socialistsushi.com/portaputty This guy has hacked Putty to store its settings in the filesystem. It creates a folder .putty and stores each of your saved sessions in a separate text file. You can even duplicate and update the files with an editor if youve got a change to make across all your sessions.

I have tried exporting the .reg file to the desktop and then logged in as another user, right clicked on the reg file and chose Merge but it didn't seem to work. I'll try again tomorrow and verify if the key was added.

I looked at portaputty but it didn't look like it has been updated since 2005, whereas putty current release is 4/07.

Thanks djmounce553 for that verification :)

exporting the correct key, saving the file as a .reg, logging in as each users and running the .reg file works.

Thanks,
