Notes: Shared "notes from the field" covering how to handle the automated installation of this software.

Google toolbar installation notes:

First off i install the application as suggested above with switched /q /d. Many of the setting for this application can be configured in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google part of the registry. Aside from these settings the autofill data and its checkbox enable option are stored in the a file "C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Autofill.dat" Configure the application and check or uncheck this option, copy this to all computer when you perform the installation(only if it should be unchecked or there is information you would like configured). Lastly go to all known sites that you do not want popup blocking to interfere. After you've maked all sites which should accept popups export the 2 reg keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\NavClient\1.1\whitelist\allow2 (list of permitted sites)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\NavClient\1.1\whitelist\lastmod (some hash number based upon added sites)
Because of this hash number you are not able to simply edit the "allow2" list of accepted sites, if you do you MAY break your current list of accepted sites.

I don't believe that lastmod is a hash that prevents you from altering the whitelist. It's just a modification date value. As long as you have a valid value then Google should still use the modified whitelist.

The "lastmod" is a date/time stamp in universal time, in the form of the number of seconds from midnight 1970. This is a fairly common programming timestamp.

Simply add the number of seconds from midnight 1/1/1970, and convert to your local time zone (eastern time is -5 hours), and you've got it.

Example: 1100879851 becomes 11/19/2004 10:57:31 AM
