Registry Permissions resetting

Ok ... I could have used this recently as we migrated from an samba based domain to an AD domain.  The quickest way to migrate 20+ users was to just add the new domain user to the local admin group and then repoint their Docs and Settings folder to their old folder.

Using this subinacl tool (http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/reset-the-registry-and-the-file-permissions-in-windows-xp) might have made the process both easier and more secure.
