Could not find loadwc.exe in the registry.

It sounds like the old loadwc.exe. What is the process that is running
when the wizard comes up? Do a search in the registry for the process
to see where it is being started from.

So you are saying set it to something as the default so that it goes
there for everyone instead of going to www.msn .com when the wizard
runs?

Change user will work for that. The users can then set their home page
to whatever they want it to be. I just did this on 10 SP2 PS 4.5
serevers and it gets rid of the setting up personalized settings.

Unfortunately I don't want this web page to be the default for all
users.
Just want them to keep the ones they have.

The old change user /install trick works. Change user /install at a cmd
prompt as adm. Set the home page and IE settings you want users to have.
open IE and verify. Close IE. Do a change user /execute from the cmd
prompt. : )

I checked the run key and nothing in there that seems related to ie.

Good to know I am going to SP2 soon. I would assume you could script in
the login script to set the home page to normal or just remove the
wizard from the startup. It is probably in the registry under
hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run. I know it used to
be called loadwc.exe when this ran before but not quite sure what it is
now.

Subject: [THIN] W2k3 sp2 IE setup wizard runs and users lose home page.
We are finally getting around to upgrading our citrix servers to w2k3
sp2 from sp1 and ran into a little problem..
After installing sp2 the first time a user logs on they get a little ie
'wizard' runs and ie home page gets set to msn.
We are not using GPO for setting homepage for this ministry.
Is there a way around this problem?
