As part of my job I manage and maintain a small computer lab of 4 computers. They were all set up by a previous admin who no longer works here. They are setup to login automatically to a limited account.
Users are able to temporarily save files to the hard drive, but they are wiped clean when the computer automatically restarts each night. Users can not install any software.
Recently I installed Internet Explorer 8 on the systems (as Administrator) and although they are working fine, Internet Explorer goes through its first-time-startup routine every day. This is quite involved, asking about Phishing filters and default search engines and what-not. Its very annoying to have to click through everyday.
On the administrator account, I only had to go through this once. So I tried to make the default user account an Administrator account temporarily, hoping that would resolve the issue. It didn't.
Whatever changes IE is making to its file system to indicate that the first-time-startup has been run are being lost each day. Any idea how I can make these settings stick and rid my users of the annoying first-time-startup process?
