How do Computer Setting get applied?

Do the settings in under the computer section of Group
Policy get applied to all the same people that the user
section gets applied to? (eg. if I place Authenticated
Users under the security tab and apply the policy to it,
will both the computer settings and the user settings be
applied to authenticated users?)

Any Help is appreciated
 
Computer settings are applied to the computer, regardless
of the user. Computer settings are applied at startup,
based on the computer's location - site domain, OU.

It is possible to have two different user logon and have
different policies applied, e.g. if the users are in
different OUs with different GPOs linked. But the
computer will have the same settings applied based on
computer settings.

All this assumes no filtering, block inheritence, no
override, and no loopback processing.

I am assigning Outlook, with an .mst, by GP to users in OUs. There are multiple users using each machine and I would prefer that the Outlook installation files are not downloaded from the installation point at each initial logon.

If I assign the package to the computer, rather than the user will this accomplish what I want? Or, after creating the .mst file should I modify the setup.ini file to leave the source files on the computer? Will this accomplish the same thing?

Thanks
