[gptalk] Re: Default save location for office 2003 via group policy

It seems for office 2003 that I had to create a custom .adm

You may have to run Process Monitor to spy on which reg value needs to be set 
and then use GP Preferences Registry extension or a custom ADM to deal with it. 
 I don't have the 2003 ADMs in front of me but I thought I remembered seeing 
that setting in them. If not, then Process Monitor is your best bet.

Yes I understand it has to be done for each separate program, however there is 
nothing within office 2003.  Office 2007 apparently their is.

It can be done, but I believe you have to do it for each specific application. 
I don't think you can define a "global" default save location for Office.

Hello,


I need to know where to set default save locations for office 2003 using group 
policy.  I have installed the templates but I do not see a default save 
location.

Please help.

Dave
