Appliying registry settings to current users profiles.

Create the relevant reg file and script file.
Add them both to yoru domains sysvol folder, to propergate them throughout the domain.
use group policy to run them once on login.

have you created a text file with the following text in it, and then renamed it to DisableCTF.REG :
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "ctfmon.exe"=-
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CTF] "Disable Thread Input Manager"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CTF\MSUTB] "ShowDeskBand"=dword:00000000

Also created a batch file with the following command, name it updatereg.bat:
REGEDIT -s DisableCTF.REG

put both files in the same folder, then execute the updatereg.bat file.

Yes i have it setup like that is a GPO under User Config.\Windows Settings\Logon Scripts. I have applied it to my user account and i still have the hand writing tools.

Have you checked the registry on one of the PCs to make sure the change has been made?

The PC might need a reboot.

I have checked the users ntuser.dat and the registry changes have not been applied. This is on a windows 2003 box in a terminal service box. I am wondering if it is a permissions issue.

try logging in as a administrator and manually running the script on the server.
make sure to make any backups.

Ok i ran a RSOP and it is being applied but i found an error in the event log. "Execution of GPO scripts has timed out and have been terminated." What could be causing this to time out?

Is this happening on a Windows XP computer? Have you tried updating it to the latest service pack. I understand there was a fix in SP2 for users having similar problems.

Other possible solutions:
1) This could occur if the computer account was not created correctly. Try moving the computer to a workgroup and then back to the domain. Make sure the computer is on the right OU. When authenticated the computer will be added to the authenticated users group.

2) If the logon script is trying to connect to a network share and the user does not have permission to access it, the script will timeout.

3) The defualt timout is 10 minutes (600 seconds). You could try increasing the timeout:

This is what i was needing. Thanks for everyones help.
