I worked with my IT guys to put together a login script that merges a reg
file at logon for everyone. I spent some time making, and testing changes in
that file, and then had them activate the script, and voila, 90% of the office
was updated at the next logon. The other 10% were the power users and
malcontents who were not using the default profile. (ironic, isn't it, that my
best and my worst users often have similar issues)

Actually, I think you'd need to just amke the same change in each profile
- I asked the IT guys about doing that, but tehy don't know WSH well enough
(and neither do I).

Yes, with WSH you could iterate thru all the profiles on the machine, and
make edits to each. The basics are pretty easy, just VBA with a few things
removed, but the iteration part I am not sure about. Of course iteration and
recursion kills me in Lisp too 😉

would work for me - especially if I could store the variables in a read only
network location, so that I could update it in one place at my convenience -
Are tehre examples posted int he customization NG (I'll go look, but if you
know of good ones, point me int he right direction).

This thread is also being covered in
customization as well, I made the suggestion he control variables he needs to
maintain via VBA. Load a standard macro that will run everytime AutoCAD
is opened and changes the necessary paths/variables/etc. No mucking with
the registry. It changes for whatever user logs on and runs AutoCAD,
just gets loaded with the custom menus and routines.
There's my $.0134453 🙂

Did you find a setting in Acad to control
ActiveAssistence? I could find only two ways to turn it off, manually via the
system trey, and via the registry. That is what pushed me into WSH (we had 30
machines to setup, and NOBODY wanted ActiveAssistance). Once I got it working,
I just kept using it for other things as well. BTW, you can have VLisp execute
a WSH script, so you could build the script and then run it from within
AutoCAD. You might even be able to tell the script how it started, so it could
handle things differently depending on Acad being active or not.
