Is anyone using the Office XP Profile Generator?  PRF files are now
executables in Outlook XP.  I need the PRF file to execute the first time a
user logs in.  I don't want it to execute anytime after because I don't want
the PRF file to overwrite any customizations they may have made in Outlook.
I've accomplished this in a script file.  The script file does the
following:

Checks to see if the outlook.prf file exists in the user's profile
directory.  
If it does not exist (then this is a new user), copy the outlook.prf file to
the user's profile directory.
Execute the outlook.prf file, which launches Outlook.
If it does exist, then it is not a new user so it exits the script.

The following is my script file:

IF EXIST "%userprofile%\outlookxp.prf" goto end
copy M:\winnt\profgen\outlookxp.prf "%userprofile%\outlookxp.prf"
M:\winnt\profgen\outlookxp.prf

:end

The problem is that since I have this in a script, when it runs the line
M:\winnt\profgen\outlookxp.prf it launches outlook and the script thinks
it's still running.  So cmd.exe is still running in the background.  How do
I get the script to end??
