Default Outlook 2003 profile problem

I am facing a problem in importing PRF file,It always prompts,'Outlook is
about to import information into your E-mail accounts.This can modify or
replace your existing E-mail account settings.would you like to import the
account settings?(Outlook will be opened after you click yes or No)'
Here in our school network,people keep moving from one computer to other
with their mendatory profile.
Whenever user log-on to the system,Outlook prf file will be copied to temp
folder in system drive(as included in log-on script)
I want to set whenever user opens outlook,it should point to prf file and
launch directly on user's computer,If anybody can help me to set this??

Default Outlook 2003 profile problem

As the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...60 I&respos=3 describes, this can be done using the ImportPRF registry value.

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.
