current_user vs users?

[Michael Appelmans]

I'm trying to write a WSH script to modify the SMTP Server setting for
Outlook in the Windows Messaging Subsytem key. Since I use a different
SMTP server depending on where I'm conneting from (one ISP blocks port
25 so I have to use their SMTP server) I thought I would write an app
like DesertFish Roamer but which modifies all my email accounts, not
just the first one.

My first question is what is the scope of current_user, in other words
if I make the change there will it persist when I reboot. As you can see
I don't spend much time with the registry.

Second question is the registry key:
9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676
consistent across Outlook versions or is it more specific. In other
words if I search for this key will I find it on Win200 Outlook 97 and
on Win XP with Outlook 2002.

Thanks for any assist on this. I know a bunch of people who roam and
could use this.

1.) Yes the changes to HKCU would persist.
2.) We've no idea where the key is located. Post the full path and someone
may be able to answer. I no longer use office97.
