How do you this on all users? Setting this options as checked as default? Is it possible to add a reg tweak and will it run on otherusers than admin?

Heres my logonscript.bat:
@echo off
REM -----> To set the time when clients logon to the domain
net time \****servername**** /set /yes

REM -----> Deletes all mounted network drives
net use * /delete /yes

REM -----> Map User Network Home Drive
net use h: \****servername****\%username%

if %os%==Windows_NT goto windows2000
if %os%==Windows goto windowsXP

:windows2000
regedit /s \2000\windows2000.reg

:windowsXP
regedit /s \xp\windowsxp.reg

This is caused by a bug in Windows XP along with Roaming profiles.
fyi - roaming profiles is turned on no matter what in SME5.x...fixed in 6.0.

What I have done to solve the problem (YMMV) was to do a search
on the C: drive for all desktop.ini files and delete them.
Windows wouldn't let me delete several of the files as they were in use

I then did the same thing on the users profile directory.

And there will be no desktop.ini in newly created roaming profiles (they will remain hidden)?
Thanks for the help by the way its really a pleasure to use this forum!
