I am having Windows XP SP2, Windows 2000 SP4, Windows 2003 AD domain running in Windows 2000 mode. I have written a script that changes the windows explorer view to list. It usually works by writing values to the 'Streams' key in HKCU and seems to work fine when I run this as an administrator. The standard users dont have access to the tools > Options in Windows Explorer, disable via group policy. But when I login as a non-administrator, the view is still 'icons'. I have written a second script to interrogate the registry to verify that the changes that I made had been written successfully - they had. Below is the script details:

"WIN_ME", "WIN_98", "WIN_95"
