Getting back into this thing (maybe?)

So, this blog is pretty sparse (OK, really sparse) but I'm gonna try and get myself functioning on a bit more of a functional level now and actually post stuff, who knows, maybe I'll learn something in the process!!!

So for today's fun and excitement I will be attempting to convince a WinTel machine to not create a new user profile every time a new network user logs on. First thing to try is to remove the "STUBPATH" registry entry based on advice from Mr Gates himself (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/238441) . . . & wow - it actually seems to have worked! Now when a user logs in on a new (or re imaged) system we don't have to wait while it runs all the personalized settings stuff.

Now let's see if I can convince the machine to not run the Windows Installer on MS Office when a user opens it for the first time . . .

OK, so I've tried a zillion different registry hacks to no avail, now just gonna nuke it and reinstall (uninstall, run ccleaner to clean registry, reinstall as a domain admin with all options set to run from computer) and see what happens, fingers crossed and . . .

Didn't work, feel free to leave me any suggestions (as if anyone but me is gonna read this!) below and I'm out for the weekend, have a good one.
