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.

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. : ) JK On 7/16/07, Stratton, Doug ISMC:EX <Doug.M.Stratton@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Scripting may not work as it depends on when it is reset.

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.

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?
