Hi Bob

As a note for the comment below is that we use Faronics DeepFreeze Pro to
"freeze" the state of the computer when we restore the computers with a self
programmed restore facility.

.....
I am aware of the roaming user profile method, but..... the problem as i see
it is that is there is not consistency in the products on the different pc's
on our site. As an example we're having approx 30 pc' in each room all adding
up to 1700 all in all. approx 450 of them is installed with WinXP (DK) Sp1
with O2k3 Pro (DK). 200 is on SP2 and is using Office XP (DK) and approx 100
is WinXP sp1 (UK) with o2k3 Pro (UK) and the rest is mixed Win98se (
office97) and winxp sp1 (dk-uk language) with office 2000 Premium.
It seems that the products are too different for the roaming profile to work
properly, Language settings and earlier office editions become corrupt
(displaying various errors) when activating roaming profiles.

I have solved the problems up till now by installing all programs ( not only
the office suite) and after opening all programs and setting up the options
in each program. Then i restart the computer and logon as local admin. After
that i'm currently copying the entire c:\documents and settings\<userid>
folder into c:\documents and settings\default user and then it all works for
all users including automatic outlook profile generation. then i have
uploaded an entire PC as a image to our server for restore.


My problem as described is that i would like to disable or hide the initial
dialogs when a user log's on to a computer. the reason for my request is that
i am currently migrating our "computer restore" facility to a multicast ghost
solution using AI packages. And the last package i need to build is the
office suite in different languages and versions.
