Default script to add public folder contact list to available address books

I'm trying to automate the setup of Outlook for our users. I've managed
to get a logon script to set up all the basic things for them to
connect to our Exchange server, however one piece is still giving me
trouble.

Right now we have to have each user log on, then manually add a contact
list (shared out in a public folder) to their address book. I'd like to
automate this process.

Any information would be useful (registry keys to look at, etc...).

Thanks.

Each user would need to run a script that uses Outlook automation to set the value of the ShowAsOutlookAB property for the folder to True.

Did you ever figure out how to do this. I need to do the same thing
but have been unable to figure it out.

Thanks,
