Windows XP Automate IE and Adobe Reader settings

[ScottyDont]

Hello everyone,

I do TechSupport for a company that requires the use of Internet Explorer and Adobe Reader. Certain settings need to be configured a certain way or some of our functions don't work properly. Far too many of my calls could be avoided if people would simply read how to properly setup their computer, but I disgress

Is there a way a batch or registry file could do the following?:
-disable pop-up blocker or allow pop-ups from our site only
-display our website in compatibility view (IE 8 and 9)
-add our site to the list of Trusted Site in IE secruity settings
-add our site to the list of Trusted Site in Adobe Reader
-add our site to the Host section in Adobe Reader

If users were to run this when they first register, I would expect a dramatic decrease in the volume of our Support calls. Thanks for the help/

I would think that a batch file wouldn't necessarily do the trick. Have you explored registry entries? If you locate the entries for each of these settings, you could build a registry addition to include the points of interest.
