No.  I'm sorry if I was vague.  You are correct about the order.  The
thing I didn't think was correct was the statement...

I was referring to the specific script that was listed in the original
posting.  The regedit entry that was changed was the ProfileImagePath
which is stored in the HKLM hive.  This is not overwritten by the HKU
hive ( ie. the user profile ).

That's all.  Sorry.
