Try adding this to the logon script should work even if your users cannot run regedit

reg add "hkcu\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main" /v RunOnceHasShown /d 1 /t reg_dword /f

reg add "hkcu\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main" /v RunOnceComplete /d 1 /t reg_dword /f

Hello,

Yes this will work if you are an administrator, but none of my users are able to run regedit or any registry editor, I have tried running the regedit in the logon script but it fails as the user cannot run regedit. i cannot find a way to do it in Gp policy either. can anyone think of a way to add this to the hive in some way?

thanks

Got this to work in our terminal server environment....

created a .vbs file and put it in the startup for all users

' *** Check to reset IE7 settings once per server ***

If oFSO.FileExists("c:\documents and settings\" & objNet.UserName & "\IE7") = True Then

' msgbox "file exists, quitting."

Else

' msgbox "Running configuration scripts now."

Set oFile = oFSO.CreateTextFile("c:\documents and settings\" & objNet.UserName & "\IE7")

oFile.close

o=ws.Regwrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceComplete", "1", "REG_DWORD")

o=ws.Regwrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceHasShown", "1", "REG_DWORD")

WScript.Sleep (6000)

o=ws.Regwrite("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\4\1001", "3", "REG_DWORD")

End If

Also need to change HKEY_USERS\DEFAULT\software\microsoft\windows\current version\internet settings\zones\4 then change Reg_Dword value 1001 from 0 to a 3.

Once this has been done you can then start logging users into the terminal server and they wont have to do a thing for settings.
