How to disable "Run once" for all users in IE8?

The subject says it all: how can I disable the run once questions of IE8 for
all users?

These won't work:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
"IE8RunOnceLastShown"=dword:00000001
"IE8RunOncePerInstallCompleted"=dword:00000001
"RunOnceComplete"=dword:00000001
"RunOnceHasShown"=dword:00000001

As they are for the current user only.

And no, adding the same values to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE does not work, unlike
in IE7.

Hi,
How many users/computers? Are they on a LAN?

Try running GPEDIT.MSC > Computer Configuration> Administrative Templates>
Windows Components> Internet Explorer> Prevent performance of First Run
Customize settings.

GPEDIT.MSC is not available on XP Home or (I think) Vista Home Basic.

Hi!

The computer is in a domain, so did that via domain policies instead of
local. That particular setting did not help, but directed me in the right
direction and the same setting under "User configuration" did the trick.
Thanks.
