The contents of the NTUser.DAT file are the ones found under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"
if you use "regedt32" under Windows NT. As such it has all the information about
the user, like logon directory path, desktop path.., user restrictions like
hidden drive letters, permission to share things over the network, to modify
desktop appearance,...

You can see what is in it by opening the regedt32 program in NT, Going to the
HKEY_USERS section, choosing "Load Hive" from the File menu, selecting a
NTUser.DAT file of any user you have permsion to view and giving it a name. Then
a new branch can be seen with the name you have given, which has all the
contentes of NTUser.DAT. You can even modify it. When you are finished you can
"Unload Hive" and then it is saved again to NTUser.DAT with the modifications
you have made.
