[gptalk] Re: "browse in same window" option in Windows Explorer

Darren, 

When I add your settings like this I get an error stating that Valuename
is not recognized, see example 1 below.  When I add MAX "100000" (remove
the lines you suggested) to the EditFlags policy I am able to enter
65536  and the policy pushed out through AD and worked!! 

EXAMPLE 1 

 CLASS MACHINE

CATEGORY "SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8"
KEYNAME "SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8"

 POLICY Default
  PART Default
  EDITTEXT
  DEFAULT "Microsoft Word Document"
  VALUENAME ""
  END PART
 END POLICY

 POLICY "EditFlags"
  PART "EditFlags"
  NUMERIC
  VALUENAME "EditFlags"
  VALUEON NUMERIC 65536
  VALUOFF NUMERIC 0

  END PART
 END POLICY

 POLICY "BrowserFlags"
  PART "BrowserFlags"
  NUMERIC
  VALUENAME "BrowserFlags"
  VALUEON NUMERIC 8
  VALUOFF NUMERIC 0


  END PART
 END POLICY

END CATEGORY

Hmm. The pieces I gave below should not give you the ability to set a
value at all. It sounds like you're using a spin control, which you
don't want to do. The Valueon and valueoff things go in the ADM and the
policy is either enabled, not configured or disabled.

When I am in the Group policy editor and want to set the value  in ADM
template I created, it only lets me enter a numeric values between 0 and
9999.

What will only let you go up to 9999? I'm not sure I'm following what
you're doing?

I did what you said,  

With the browser flags it works, but with the EditFlags  it will only
let me go up to 9999 so 65536 will not work.

REG_BINARY is not supported in the ADM syntax so all numeric values are
implied as REG_DWORD.

What you need to do is convert those hex values to decimal and then put
them in the ADM. For example, for the browser flags, it would look like
this:

VALUEON NUMERIC 8
VALUOFF NUMERIC 0

And for EditFlags:

VALUEON NUMERIC 65536
VALUOFF NUMERIC 0

It also does not tell it if it is a REG_DWORD  or a REG_BINARY  should
this not be specified in the template?

I do get to option to specify the value when I enable a setting
(EditFlags & BrowserFlags). So I am not sure what you mean by 0 or 1
when enabeling or disabeling, this should not effect the REG_DWORD
value, should it?

You're probably going to have to edit that ADM a bit. Normally, in the
absence of any direction in the ADM, enabled will set the value to 1 and
disabled to 0, which you probably don't necessarily want.

Of course they would be!  (-:  Yes it is showing up there,  I was
looking under local user!!  

So the settings are there but not configured.  Should they have values
or is this something I have to add myself... I see from the adm file
that there are no values.. Of course that is why it is called a
template.   Thanks Darren!

Well, it looks like it will be under Computer Configuration\Admin
templates\"Software\Classes\Word.Document.8"

It could be having problems parsing the Category with the backslashes.
What I would do, if you don't find the policy in the location above, is
rename the Category tag below to something without backslashes, like
"Word File Associations"

Well, it depends upon how the ADM was written. Maybe you can post it
here and we can get a better sense of where to look.

Darren, 

I have added the template,  but I do not see it show up.  Even after
unchecked "show only managed policies"  filter.  Where do I look?

Yes, when you're in the GP editor, right-click any of the two
Administrative Templates nodes, choose Add/Remove Templates and add your
new template.
You'll get errors right then and there if there are syntax problems with
it.
If not, you will not see the policies show up right away because they
are preferences. So, go into View, Filtering and uncheck the box that
says "show only managed policies".

Ok I exported the key, edited the key so that only those values are in
it.  Converted with regtoadm. 

Can I just import this template to a GPO?

What type of reg values are those Piet? Are they REG_BINARY or

Ok I found it with Regshot 1.8.1 (I could not find an easy way  with
Regmon since it listed hundreds of registry queries, Regshot allowed me
to take a snap shot before and after the changes and then compared the
two and lasted listed deletions and modifications, very nice. tool!) 


When the browse in same window option is unchecked this key is added:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8\BrowserFlags: 0x00000008



I also want to set  the "confirm open after download" option. 

Unchecking this option changes the following key:

from this:  HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8\EditFlags: 0x00000000

to this: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Word.Document.8\EditFlags: 0x00010000

so how do I create an adm template to push this setting out through a
GPO?
