You might want to check your references more carefully. The KB article
(posted to this list 5 days ago) talks about the Run, RunOnce, and
Uninstall registry keys and the Everyone group. Ditto for the InforWorld
article. At no point there is any mention to the Schedule or UserInit keys
or the Server Operators group.
