Citrix::Outlook::Execute PRF on first run

I haven't tried this but it sounds promising. It might trigger some ideas some day.
From a newsgroup:

Configure the registry to trigger Outlook to import the PRF file when Outlook starts up. You can use the Add/Remove Registry Entries page in Custom Installation Wizard or the Custom Maintenance Wizard to deploy these registry key options to your users. You can also use the wizards to distribute the PRF file to users by using the Add/Remove Files page.
Delete the following registry key value : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Setup\First-Run.
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Setup subkey, set the value of ImportPRF to a string value that specifies the name and path of the PRF file. For example, set ImportPRF to \\server1\share\outlook.prf.

Perl::Script::Rename Files

Below is a sample script depecting file directory operations. This was a fast and dirty script to rename files into a different name format. It doesn't deal with name collisions when users have same last name. I only had a handful of them to deal with:

$indir = 'c:\\dev\\picname\\input';
$outdir = 'c:\\dev\\picname\\output';

opendir(DIR, "$indir");
my @files = readdir(DIR);
closedir(DIR);

my $file;

foreach $file (@files) {
if ($file eq ".") {next};
if ($file eq "..") {next};
#input filename
my $infile = "$indir\\$file";

#output filename

my @temp = split(/(,\s|\s)/,$file);

my $newfile = "$outdir\\P-$temp[0].jpg";

print "$infile --> $newfile\n";

rename ($infile, $newfile);

}#end foreach $file
