I have a question about Disable the Internet Connection Wizard:

How do you disable the Internet Connection Wizard on Windows NT for multiple users logging in on a domain?

For existing users, you have to set Completed individually for each user profile. :-P To avoid annoying new users, do the same for the Default User profile.

In either case you can use REGEDT32 to load %windir%\Profiles\<some user>\NTUSER.DAT into a temporary branch off of HKEY_USERS and then perform surgery on the Registry hive for that user.

If there are a lot of users to fix up, and you're a scripting wizard, you may be able to automate this by iterating over the content of Documents and Settings and using REG.EXE from the Resource Kit to load, patch, and unload the hives. Skip All Users, since there's no hive in there.

As usual, even thinking about touching the Registry could make your computer unbootable, render your dog radioactive, etc. Backups are good.
