automatic configuration

[bookouri]

I have a couple hundred users with office97 and some office2000. We use a workgroup template directory stored on our network server. When we set up a new workstation we always manually set the template directory, user directories etc, but it seems more and more frequently that we have users "lose" these settings. How can I make such configuration changes "automatic?" I use windows scripting for my logon scripts but I dont know of any way to use it to set such configurations.

any help would be appreciated...

After you've set up their stuff, you should be able to export the following registry key to a "safe" location on their hard drive or personal network drive. If they lose the settings, they should be able to just double-click it (while all the apps are closed):

hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\office\8.0 (Office 97)
hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\office\9.0 (Office 2K)
