Hi,

I'm new to these boards and new to Kix in general. The following Kixtart code is designed to set Outlook 2003 to automatically apply settings from a PRF file located on our network. However, the first time a new user launches Outlook on a PC it wants to run the setup wizard. When you cancel out of the wizard it creates a default profile which you can be viewed by going to Start-->Settings-->Control Panel-->Mail. The Mail icon in the control panel did not exist prior to the user trying Outlook for the first time. If you delete this profile, then log-off the network, log back on, then everything works fine. You can then blow away the profile again and again and it will be re-created properly using the Kix code I have with no problem at all. It's just that first time Outlook access for a new user that creates a problem. Does anyone notice anything awry with my code below to prevent this problem from reoccuring? Thanks in advance for any help.
