Interesting! What would the user see when this happened? Would they see
Outlook launch? If not, this would be a big improvement over what we are
doing now, which is much more kludgy that what you've done here.

try somethig like this in a kix script;
$ =
delvalue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\setup","First-Run"
)
$ =
Writevalue("HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\setup","importPR
F","c:\Program Files\MIcrosoft Office\Custom11.prf", REG_SZ)
$Outlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
$NS = $Outlook.GetNamespace("MAPI")
; $Fldr = $NS.GetDefaultFolder(6)
; $Unread = $Fldr.UnReadItemCount
$Outlook = 0

Hi that was me. :)
What we had to do was have a login script detect the
presence of a .prf
file, and if it did, actually launch Outlook, and
specify on the command
line to execute a macro which exited Outlook. This was
enough to get the
.prf file "digested". I can post that macro if you need
it. Note that
you need to make sure macro security is "low" for
Outlook or this won't
work.
