Not an answer to your question, but if you have 500 XP machines then you
need to get some sort of deployment/management solution.  I use Deployment
Server from Altiris....it allows me to change configurations on all my XP
machines "en masse"....couple of clicks and I'm done....all the machines
in my building!
