I have 2 terminal services servers windows 2003.. and each time a user logs
on, i would like to apply a registry setting. (It's a setting I can't seem
to find in GroupPolicy)
The following should be applied when a user logs on:
Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\advanced
Value: Hidden Type: Reg_Dword Value: 0
Value: HideFileExt Type: Reg_Dword Value: 0
Value: ShowSuperHidden Type: Reg_Dword Value: 0

Any thoughts on how i can do this since GroupPolicy doesn't seem to allow
these specific settings. Does Group Policy allow to specify specific
registry settings to be entered such as the above?

Any help would be great appreciated!

Hi Chris,
This can be done by either writing a logon script, or a custom ADM template.

Alternatively, you can download our free PolicyMaker Registry Extension. The
free PolicyMaker Registry Extension is a true client side extension (CSE) to
Group Policy, providing full registry management capability.

You can write a custom ADM file and import it into your group policy
management console. Its not as hard as it sounds.

Here is some info: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/225087

Let me know if you have any questions about it, I've written many of
them.
