Hell he can have mine. Its probably out of date anyway.
Here is the script I call during logon. Note that W: maps to the users
profile on the server they are logged in to:
@echo off
if exist w:\outlookt.txt goto skipall
copy "E:\Program Files\boutprof\outlook.prf" w:\windows\outlook.prf >nul
"E:\Program Files\boutprof\prfpatch.exe"
"E:\Program Files\boutprof\newprof.exe" -p w:\windows\outlook.prf
copy "E:\Program Files\boutprof\outlookt.txt" W:\outlookt.txt >nul
:skipall
Get your hands on a .PRF file appropriate to your environment. Going from
memory, prfpatch.exe modifies the outlook.prf to be user specific, and
newprof modifies the profile. The lines dealing with "outlookt.txt" are
merely to avoid running this if the profile has already been updated, as we
use roaming profiles.
Don't ask me for my outlook.prf.

Reply with exactly how and what you've tried to run, and I'll attempt to
*assist* you in putting it right.

No - I'm not just sending you complete scripts, or complete programs. If
you want help trying to do something, and making it work, I'll help you
with it - but I won't do the whole thing for you - you are going to have
to put in some effort, too. You didn't actually answer any of the
questions I asked.
Did you read any references in TechNet regarding usage of the commands?
What happened when you did? Post your script, and I'll try and help you
with it. If you are just attempting to get somebody to do it all for
you, then maybe somebody else might be charitable enough to oblige.
I'm all about helping people, but some people just seem to want it all
for free.
