    My concern is the 'transportability' of that .reg file.
    In previous testing, some folks at our org ran into BSOD
    issues following this path. I wasn't involved, so some
    of the steps between thier effors and what you describe
    below might be quite different. Still, I will certainly
    test this out again first thing tomorrow morning.

    I've never seen even any hint of a solution to do what
    I'm looking for via a script in any of my searches. I've
    been at it for quite some time now. Maybe it's just that
    I'm lacking search skills, but nothing directly related
    to the specific task before me. Does that mean it can't
    be done via a script, though?
