I have created a PRF fill for Office 2003, the problem I
am having is when the file executes from a script it
ALWAYS prompts the user to configure the profile.
I am trying to get away from this.
In my script I remove and add some registry entries to
avoid the welcome dialog box but it seems to still come up
as well.
The entries that I am modifying are:
(I delete this one)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Setup','First-
Run')
(add this one)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0
\Outlook\Setup','ImportPRF',"CORDC.PRF",'REG_SZ')
(add this one)
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0
\Outlook\','FirstRunDialog', 'False','REG_SZ')
The PRF file looks like this:
