Well, I'll continue testing. I need to get to the bottom of this...

Newprof.exe is the tool that Outlook uses to create Outlook profiles. Usually, Outlook uses Newprof.exe only to create a new Outlook profile when no Outlook profile exists. It uses a .prf file to do these settings. Prfpatch is used to change ProfileName=%username% to the proper username.

I'm still not certain newprof.exe causes this problem. Its the most plausible explanation I've come up with. What else could it be?

A possible workaround would be to run newprof only once. I'll need to write a short script to prevent it from running every time.
Any thoughts on how the schript should look?
Any thougts at all?
