Deploying IE9, shortcuts don't work for non-admins on first login

Problem: After deployment of IE9, the IE9 shortcuts don't work for non-admins until IE9 is launched by a local machine admin.

Solution: found here;

Thank you Adam2608!

Basically, there is a command in the RunOnce registry key that needs to be run by an admin to finish off the install.
That command is:
 reg.exe DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Active Setup\Installed Components" /v "NoIE4StubProcessing" /f

We've put that in a script and set it to run at machine startup. Running it at startup ensures it runs as the local system account in case you restrict registry tools (we do, as we are a school).
Onces thats run, anybody who logs on gets the icons.

Update 5/30/13: Another option I've found is to use the IEAK for IE9 and build your own custom installer for IE9. This works better for SCCM Build and Capture task sequences and will probably work better for distributing IE9 after the machines have been deployed.
