Launch Messenger at Startup Client Option not working after upgrade to GroupWise 7

With the GroupWise 6.5 client, the default action was to launch messenger upon startup of the client.  There is a checkbox in Client Options (Environment tab)
that allowed users to disable this functionality.  With GroupWise 7 the reverse is now true.  The default action is to NOT launch messenger upon startup of the
client and the Client Option allows users to set it so it does launch.  In both versions of GroupWise, the Client Option is not stored in any GroupWise
database but is a registry setting under HKEY_Current_User so that users sharing the same computer can have different settings.  

For example, all users at a company want messenger to auto-launch and had it set to do so in GW 6.5 (of course it was the default action so they didn't
have to do anything).  As of the 7 upgrade, only the user who was logged in for the client upgrade gets the registry update to auto-launch Messenger.  The rest of the
users who share the computer do not have a registry update and as the default action is now to NOT launch messenger, it will not launch for them.  When they
go into Client Options, it still shows a checkmark in the box to Launch Messenger on Startup even though there is no registry entry to support it. The users have to uncheck and recheck that setting for
it to write to the registry and start working.
