Microsoft have a hotfix for this if you have Office SP2 installed, but your
going to have to ask for this. Otherwise what you could do is copy the key
from the HKLM profile and put it in the HLCU. 

The following is a script that we have used.

*****************************************************************
Option Explicit

const HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
const HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = &H80000002

Dim strComputer, strKeyPath, strValueName, strValue
Dim oReg, WshShell

strComputer = "."

' Get the registry object
Set oReg=GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_ 
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

'Get the value of the First-Run key from HKLM
strKeyPath = "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Setup"
strValueName = "First-Run"
oReg.GetBinaryValue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,strKeyPath,_
strValueName,strValue

'Copy the value of First-Run in HKLM to the users profile - HKCU
oReg.SetBinaryValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER,strKeyPath,_
strValueName,strValue

'Launch Outlook now in a process of its own and end this script.
Set WshShell=CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") 
WshShell.Run "outlook.exe",1,false
