    “you could install it to the User Template folder, but not recommended”

    This may need to be a new topic, but what is the recommend alternative to modifying the User Template folder?”

    This is the new topic.

    I don’t recommend installing resources into the User Template folders because it could be overwritten by an software update. What I have done in the past is run a loginhook script that replaces a generic home folder with one that I’ve customized. The customized home folder has a touched file: “Library/PSUAdmin/psutemplate”. So when the login hook runs it looks for that file. If it doesn’t exist, the home folder is replaced with my custom one. If it does exist, the script exits.

    I think loginhooks are to be avoided in the future, so this could be done with launched too.

    Any other recommendations from others?
