Hi all, I've researched this one briefly, using google, tweaking keywords, and
limiting search results by domain. (e.g. using site:microsoft.com) Viewing the
contents of the registry, the default key value is always REG_SZ, and can't be
changed. On Windows 2003 Server, because the default value is REG_SZ, can you
modify a default value to include an environment variable? E.g Replacing
"c:\documents and settings\administrator\recent" with "%userprofile%\recent"
I have found Microsoft Knowledge Base articles which do state that to use
environment variables, you have to use the REG_EXPAND_SZ value type. However I
can't find a definitive answer to my question before I run any tests. Thanks!Joe
