Deploying IE7

[DSapseid]

but how do you prevent every user from having to go through the introduction page when they first use it?

To stop the run once page you need to add a couple of registry entries:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceHasShown] as a value of 1

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\RunOnceComplete] as a value of 1

EDIT: sorry forgot to add that you add these a DWORD

My WSUS hasn't synchronised successfully for a couple of days. No doubt it'll succeed eventually. Still waiting to see if IE7 reappears after making the changes in options.

This can be stoped via GPO

In the GP Editor, open "User Configuration" then "Administrative Templates", then "Windows Components", then "Internet Explorer".

On the right-window, set the following:

Turn off managing Phishing filter
Enabled (Automatic)

Prevent participation in Customer Experience Improvement Program
Enabled

Prevent Performance of First Run Customise settings
Enabled (Go Directly to Home Page)

Hope that helps. [ These are the setting I have set for our users ]
