When a user loggins into a Win 2K Pro computer running Client Services for Netware for the first time, There are two print options that are enabled by default in the CSNW Control Panel. Those being: Print Banner and Notify when Printed. Is there aregistry entry that can be made to disable these by default the first time someone logs in?? Or is there another way to make these disabled by default.

Thanks

What you can do is logon as an administrator and find the keys in the HKEY_Current_User . Once you find these specific keys using for example, regedit to search for them, you can copy them to the HKEY_USERS/Default key. This is the key that is used each time a user logs on to a system for the first time. Since the entries would be popluated with the information already, they shouldnt be prompted. The keys may already be in the default users key, so you might also look in there and see if you can simply fill in the values with the proper information.

The settings are not held in the HKCU Key. They are held in the HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/NWCworkstation/Paramets/Option in a key that is profile specific. There is an article from MS, Q163979, about setting the Default location and default scripting options, but I need to know if there is something similar to those for the default print options.

In the article mentioned, microsoftexplicitaly says, that this method can not be used to set default printer options.
You can use a login script by using for exmple kixtart (www.kixtart.org) to scan for this key, and change it to your favorite settings.

So based on the last comment, these setting are hardcoded into a DLL somewhere?

Go figure it out, if you need an answer, it's bad practice to immediately reject the people who might help you.
post a comment instead, and people might ! be interested in helping you any further...

Sorry if I seemed a little short, but I have been working on this issue for better then two weeks. I have gone through nearly every MS Technet and KB article related to CSNW. The answers that I have gotten so far have been things I have tried and have not solved my issue, that is why they have been rejected.
