I need the setting to be in the Default so that any new
users who log on get it. I'm on a school network -
Novell - not peer to peer or stand alone. Something has
happened in the default profile and new users are not
getting group policy settings. They are only getting the
setting which reside in the Default.

For example, they are not getting the group policy setting
which makes non-administrative stations download and auto
install the Windows updates on a schedule. In addition,
new administrative users don't get an appropriate start
menu or desktop; they get the very locked down student
desktop.
