Regedit user profile list

To find the user profile list in the Windows Registry, follow these steps:

1. Open the Windows Registry Editor:

   • Press Win + R to open the Run dialog.
   • Type regedit and press Enter.

2. Navigate to the User Profile List:

   • In the Registry Editor, go to the following key:

3. Explore the User Profiles:

   • Look for the ProfileImagePath value. This will show the file path to the user’s profile, helping you identify the user associated with each SID.
