GPO, that was my concern.  The users in question, are not AD users, NT
domain accounts yet, not using GPO.

I was hoping to address this ADM on the local machine, for all users.

Since this is a GPO, it applies at time of policy refresh, right?  What
happens to user policies at user login?  Do they apply, or only on the
refresh interval?  I don't know the answer to that personally.

So, if the registry isn't open for that user when the policy refresh
interval occurs, then I assume the policy cannot update their registry.

If that's true (someone check me on this), then It's possible that the user
will never be logged in when the policy refreshes.

Try logging in as another user and running gpupdate /target:user and see if
it makes the changes for them.

Using the following as my adm.

Add the adm.

Open regedit.

Open registry.  Adobe items show under default user.  Those things then only
affect the user I was logged in as.  Not future users who connect?

Since this key runs from HKCU, here's  asample I use for another HKCU
specific ADM:

Notice the first CLASS commands, which specifies it's HKCU.  Then KEYNAME
specified the actual subkey.  Then the rest of the ADM to set values.  Is
yours setup like this?

Add the ADM under the User's section of the policy.

CLASS USER
CATEGORY "Windows Explorer options" 
POLICY "Enable the essential File settings for the administrators" 
EXPLAIN "This policy will modify three different portions of the Windows
Explorer interface.\n\nThe first option will either show or hide hidden
files and foldes.\nThe next option will show the superhidden files, which
are the protected OS hidden files.\nThe final option will allow the file
extension to be seen or not." 
KEYNAME "software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\advanced" 

PART "Do you want to see the file extensions?" TEXT END PART PART "File
extensions:" DROPDOWNLIST VALUENAME HideFileExt ITEMLIST NAME "Yes" VALUE
Numeric 0 NAME "No" VALUE Numeric 1 END ITEMLIST END PART END POLICY END

Hang on...I added it, logged on as me.

It only appears in local user, when opening registry...I am missing
something easy.

How do I set this ADM and it's Adobe settings for all users of this server?

Translate it into an .ADM file.  On the page there is actually an ADM for
the EULA.  They're pretty obvious how to modify them for other keys.

After installing Acrobat Reader 7, we found that users could click on this
search the internet button.  We lock down IE, but some apps. run Acrobat PDF
reports.  We want to remove this button.  I have tried change user /install,
and right click, remove from the toolbar, but it does not hold for all
users.  Ideas?
