Hi

I need to make a change to our Windows 2000 image that will take effect
for all users that have or will log into the machine.

Basically the setting that I need to change is to allow Internet
Explorer to spawn a new window when an internet short cut (IE sent in
an e-mail) is activated. I have found the setting in HKCU but that
will only correct the setting for the current user.

I did find that there was a change to the HKUsers as well but if I
understand the registry everyone will have there own entry in this
section and only the current users settings are loaded there.

How can I automate the changing of this registry key for all users that
log into the machine.

Thanks in advance for any help

You might look for the string or dword equivalent in group policy.

Create a login script, set it to be used for the User Configuration (using
gpedit.msc).
In the script use the reg.exe command to change the item in the registry.
