Pushing preferences via ADM filesA warning to all. Nothing is absolutely free,
including this PolicyMaker utility. To obtain this utility you have to provide
an e-mail address. When you do that you'll start getting SPAM from them with no
mechanism to opt-out from their mailing list. I made this mistake, now I'm
getting SPAM.

Hi Robert,
Yep. we all give up on Binary Keys. Microsoft doesn't support them under ADM
Templates.
PolicyMaker has a free utility that allows you to add registry keys directly
via Group Policies
http://www.desktopstandard.com/PolicyMakerRegistryExtension.aspx
The one downside is that it runs as an additional Group Policy Extension, so
you have to install it on all machines. which is a lot of work for a couple of
measly registry keys

All,
OK, I give up. Anyone know of a way to push a registry entry via GPO/ADM
looking something like this:?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar\WebBrowser]
"{01E04581-4EEE-11D0-BFE9-00AA005B4383}"=hex:81,45,e0,01,ee,4e,d0,11,bf,e9,00,\
aa,00,5b,43,83,10,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,e0,32,f4,01,00,00,00
"{0E5CBF21-D15F-11D0-8301-00AA005B4383}"=hex:21,bf,5c,0e,5f,d1,d0,11,83,01,00,\
aa,00,5b,43,83,22,00,1c,00,00,00,00,00,06,00,00,00,01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00
I've downloaded Alan's tool, will gladly pay the $50 if it will do something
like this, but it didn't allow me to put these binary strings.
These, btw, are prefernce settings to remove the AddressBar from IE6. I
tried using a policy called NoAddressBar = 1, but it was not consistent,
perhaps conflicting with other GPO settings we have. So I used REGMON to
capture which registry entry was being modified when I turned off/on the
Address Bar (View/toolbars/AddressBar). Now I just have to figure out a way to
send this via GPO.
Any and all ideas would be very much appreciated.
