Roving profiles - new user issue 1

[hotmale]

Is there any way to stop Outlook from doing its 'Run Once' stuff for a new user?

Here is the story:
I want to users to get the same profile for the area they work - Roaming profiles.
I want users not be able to change their profile - mandatory roaming profile.
(Incidently - I want to leave the mandatory profile on C:\Drive to minimise bandwith usage.)
I want to get users to be able to get their own exchange mail profile - Roving Profile.

In the log-in script-
I call up profgen.exe
"newprof exchange.prf -R -P exchange.prf -L"
where the exchange.prf is set up correctly.
And it all works, EXCEPT, everytime the user logs on - it thinks it is a first time we have openned Outlook (which makes sense), but it always asks you for your full name and initials, and then gives you a "Welcome to Outlook" email.
I could get rid of the Welcome message by rules, but I would have to set up the rule for every user.

Is there any way to stop Outlook from doing its 'Run Once' stuff for a new user? Or is there a better suggestion?

There is a new profgen utility called modprof. It works just like newprof except that it can detect if a user already has profile setup.
