The next best solution would be just to have a simple reg file that would change the values, and go. But something about my code isn't taking. I created the remove values, then the add values, but when I re-open regedit... I don't detect any changes. Can someone have a look-see at my code? CODE Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Default_Page_URL"=- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"=- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Default_Page_URL"="http://intranet" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] "Start Page"="http://intranet" What've I missed? ... Oh, and here's the original value, in case anyone's seen or had to deal with it: http:// ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TYPE=3&tp=iehome&locale=en_us&c=91&bd=all&pf=cmdt]http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TYPE=3&a...all&pf=cmdt (I'm not sure which category this should have gone under... so, I dumped it here.)

Telling us the answer to the OS would have helped get it in the right forum.

XP Pro is the workstation, and we run Server 03.
Although, I thought this would be more a "Software: Active Directory" question, and didn't quite see a category that fit. In hindsight... Business applications? Anyway, we did solve the problem. It required taking the script I wrote and putting it in "user config > administrative templates > system > logon > run these programs at user logon," as a .reg file. And I still don't get why that works, but applying the fix by running the regedit on the local computer didn't. |

Ah.... Yeah I see your point. This doesn't quite fit all neat in a 'specific forum'.
Thank you for sharing your fix, however.
