Have you tried logging in as an admin. Setting up the admin profile as you would like for your end users. Then copying the admin profile the to default user profile. This would prevent the new profiles being created from having to do the initial setup that we see allot.
Just to follow up, are you saying this common logon group your co-workers are using, is in the Power Users group? -----Original Message----- From: Bacardi K.

I built a W2K Pro workstation and installed office and other apps. This workstation is used by many different users within the Co. using the same logon account, which of course, DOES NOT have admin privies. My problem are: 1. I need all mapped drives to reconnect and logon automatically upon reboot/logon. 2. Some apps such as Access XP, keeps starting up with the ".gathering info." dialog as if it is the first run, even when it is not. When I logon as Admin, it does not happen but how can fix this for the users automatically, without having to touch each machine, making the user account an admin, logging on and launching all of the apps, as to get them by the first run crap, and then logging back in as Admin to demote the account. This is a workgroup, due to size and nature of business. W2K, Win95 clients. 10 users, logging on with the same account: Coworker, pass,. Power User account. TIA Bacardi K.
