• I commented out the "Explorer View" under version 10/11 {XP/2003} (especially 11) as Microsoft re-vamped the Outlook Interface..
• IM (under version 10/11) - should this not not be written to the Registry out before running Outlook?
• Have you tried to get profile generation working with TransForms as the Office Resource Kit? I think this would be the preferred method, but I have yet to have success with it.
