Lee,
Sorry to hear that the override no longer works. I used that.
There are several ways to change HKCU settings...some easy, some not.
Regardless of what you choose, I would still change the Default Profile to
catch new users and those unfortunate souls whose profiles get corrupted
from time to time.
1. I don't believe this setting is available in an AD GPO but you can add
such things by creating a .ADM file.
2. Launch a login script that makes the change. This can be a .CMD script
that calls regedit or regini, etc. It could also be a KIX script that makes
the change. It could also be a VB script that makes the change.
2A. You can also vary how you launch the logon script. Depending on your AD
configuration, you could use a GPO to launch it. You could also add a line
to the usrlogon.cmd to launch it. You could also create a shortcut to the
script into the "All Users" startup folder.
3. Depending on how many profiles you must change, you can use regedit's
"load hive" to change them one by one manually while they are logged off.
4. You could probably also figure out each user's SID, find them under HKU
while they are logged in and change it manually in regedit.
Pick one you're comfortable with and good luck.
Raff

We have found that for whatever reason the option to show Windows contents
while moving the windows is enabled for some reason on our MetaFrame
servers, and it seriously slows down a users session, particularly when they
have lots of windows. This setting usually live in HKCU/Control
Panel\Desktop. MS KB article #226931 outlines a way to configure a registry
key to override these settings for Terminal Server users. The article was
modified last in 2002 and in actual practice is does not work on a Windows
2003 server, so I am assuming it's not supposed to work on a 2k3 server. I
already have too many users with their own user profiles, so modifying the
Default User profile is not going to help them, and we currently have access
to the section of the control panel that users normally adjust this setting
restricted, and we don't want to turn it back on.
Does anyone know how I can enforce a DragFullWindows REG_SZ directive to 0
for every user that logs onto a box?
