Windows XP/2000 - [Pending] Customizing Outlook/Outlook Express via Default User posted in the Operating Systems forums; Unforutnately not...autoexec.old is still accessable via notepad.exe and you can still read the password in clear text
It is a great idea, and i can see how it would work ...
The password is not a big deal, but having the username set is. I would just like it to be able to have it figure out the username and I guess the email address. That way when the person logs in, the email address, imap sever, smtp server, and username are set. It will error out if I have the password as changeme or something. At that time the person can enter their password and click remember password. That is the main thing I am trying to accomplish.
Thanks

I have figured out how to a lot off the stuff I need using prf files and outlook. Of course this doesn't work with outlook express, but that is a minor detail. I know I can get the usernamen by typing %UserName%. Is there a way to lookup the full name? For example, username: testperson, and their full name: Test Person. Is there a variable for Test Person? I have tried %FullName%, etc. and had no luck.
Generally, when I setup a new computer, I setup the default user, so when each user logs in for the first time, they get a profile that I have already setup. One thing that I really need to be able to do is setup outlook and outlook express with default user also, with the username to be the username they logged in as, and the password to be set when they first run outlook or outlook express. For example, if personx logs in, I would like outlook and outlook express to setup an account for an imap server to be username: personx, password to be changeme, imap server to be mail.mydomain.com, and smtp to be smtp.mydomain.com. Of course personx would be the person logging on. Is this possible to do?
Thanks!
Do require additional assistance with this problem?
