When a user is logging on to Windows NT for the first time after
setting up Windows NT over an existing version of Windows 3.1 or
Windows for Workgroups, and if the user has not chosen to migrate
their WIN.INI, CONTROL.INI, and program groups, you can still perform
this migration by using REGEDT32.EXE. You can do this by doing the
following:

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-
wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct
them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the
use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

1. If Windows NT is installed in a directory other than the directory
   containing the Windows or Windows for Workgroups files, copy all of
   the initialization files (*.INI) from the Windows directory to the
   Windows NT directory (\WINNT).

2. Log on as the user you want to modify.

3. Run REGEDT32.EXE (located in the system32 subdirectory).

4. Choose the window titled "HKEY_CURRENT_USER on local machine."

5. Choose and highlight the subkey called WINDOWS 3.1 MIGRATION STATUS.

6. Press the DELETE key to remove that subkey and those below it,
   answering Yes when prompted.

7. Quit REGEDT32 by clicking Registry and then Exit from the menu.

8. Quit Windows NT by pressing CTRL+ALT+DELETE and choosing Logoff.

9. Logon again as the user and choose OK to migrate.
