Outlook 2000?

I see the option (GPO gui) in User Configuration -> Administrative
Templates -> Microsoft Outlook 2000 -> Tools | Options -> Mail Services
-> Profile prompt. And according to OUTLK9.ADM it should be
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Exchange\Client\Options\PickLogonProfil
e of type REG_SZ and set to 0 (zero) (if you'd prefer to script it).

Try the value above, see what happens. (I'm not convinced it's truly a
bug - merely *possible* undesirable behaviour from a certain
perspective).
