You will have to lookup the the users SID and use that when adding the key. See: GetSID() _________________________ Home page: http://www.kixhelp.com/hb/

IEAK is the best way to do IE deployment and corresponding policies. That said, if you insist on using SU, when the user logs on, their user hive gets loaded. This, of course is governed by many things. See the FAQ Sequence of events during logon _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

Redback Redback Getting the hang of it Registered: 2002-03-20 Posts: 71 Loc: Albury Wodonga, Australia	The reason why I dident consider using group policy is because I have been asked to do this for one of our clients, he already uses group policy for many things and I assumed he would have tried that first. Essentially I was asked to make a way to apply this reg key on login I will look into using group policy to acheieve this, as its certanly a prefered solution Thanks Chris
