Good point. Though I can see having to start creating different OUs
to take care of different default browser preferences (for those users
clueful enough to even know about such things) which could turn into a
real PITA. (When deploying desktop URL shortcuts I'll usually hardcode
the browser anyway. Many web apps have a required or at least recommended
browser.)

What's more of a problem though is that by default IE is not on the
desktop, not even on the taskbar. Microsoft did a pretty good job of
hiding it since most users don't know how to find applications using
the menus. As far as the browser goes they just think the stylized "E"
is "The Internet." (Gotta love those panicked "The internet was deleted
off my computer!" support calls when someone manages to delete the IE
icon on the desktop.)

I took care of that today so everyone gets a desktop IE link. If they
manage to delete the internet from their computer they just have to log
out and back in to get the internet back.
