My department (I'm a grad student who helps with computer stuff) just purchased 10 computers with Windows 2000 Professional for a graduate student comptuer lab. Previously we were running NT 4.0 Workstation with a NT4.0 Server. We still have the NT4.0 server, but we now have these Win2000 workstations. In our NT setup we had mandatory profiles for all students. I would like to keep the mandatory profiles, and I seem to have most of the mandatory profiles working in W2K, however, I cann't get rid of the internet connection wizard. Any ideas on how to remove this annoying program from initializing on login?
Many thanks,
Howard

Remove Internet Connection Wizard
1) The next time it appears,click cancel,and then select the Don't show the Intenet Connection Wizard next time option

2)Delete the entire Connection Wizard folder (it's in \Program Files\Internet Explorer

3)Run Registry Editor (Regedit32.EXE)
Open HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Connection Wizard
Double-click the Completed value;if it's not there,create it by selecting New and then DWORD Value from the Edit menu,and type Completed for the name of the new value. Double-click the new value when you're done

Enter 1 for the contents of this value, and click OK

Thanks for the help, we actually figured it out by a process that I can't remember right now, but it works.
