Problems with Desktop Elements

G

Guest

Hello everybody,

I'm having problems setting up dynamic desktop elements in WinXP SP2 / IE
6.0.2900.
I'm having an install script copy the desktop elements' sourcefiles to my
C-Drive and afterwards adding the necessary keys to the registry
("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Desktop\Components" Keys 1 and 2)

DWORD CurrentState = Decimal 1073741825
is my problem.
The scripts sets the key as it should be, but as soon as I reboot, Windows
changes it to BINARY hex 01000040. A manual klick on the synchonize button in
des "Customize Desktop" - Dialog of Windows Display Options resolves the
issue, but as I need a fully automated install, this is not an acceptable
solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
