Since you are running Vista, what about Group Policy Preferences: Registry The Registry preference extension provides a flexible and easy-to-use way to create, replace, update, and delete registry settings on multiple computers. To use Group Policy settings to configure arbitrary registry settings, you must create an Administrative template. With the Registry extension, you can use three different preference types to add Registry preference items to a GPO and organize them: . Registry Item. Configure an individual registry setting, including the REG_SZ, REG_DWORD, REG_BINARY, REG_MULTI_SZ, and REG_EXPAND_SZ types. . Collection Item. Create a folder in which to organize Registry items, similar to how Windows organizes settings in them. However, you don't have to organize these folders in the same hierarchy as the registry keys and subkeys. Instead, you can organize settings by department, location, and so on. . Registry Wizard. Import one or more registry settings from the local computer or from a remote computer. You can select individual registry settings or entire registry branches. Using the Registry preference extension is a great way to deploy settings without having to write scripts. For example, you can deploy settings for a third-party application or an application that isn't Group Policy-aware. However, using the Registry extension to deploy settings for which Group Policy preferences already provide a user interface is discouraged. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=42e30e3f-6f01-4610- 9d6e-f6e0fb7a0790&DisplayLang=en Webster ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
