Yeah, I checked and she's right. AutoPreview looks as though it is stored on the Exchange server. The Reading Pane is in fact in the registry but it appears to be a binary setting that is very hard to manipulate without changing other stuff or possibly corrupting the Outlook profile. Your best bet would be to use Custom Installation Wizard (or whatever the equivalent is now) to default this setting however you want. -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shane Williford Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 1:59 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Re: Office Modification? Hey Jamie...thanks again for the info; after I got your note below, I did a bit more poking around and found this site: http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/thread-1850553.php that said there isn't a reg key for this (by MVP Sue Mosher...I believe she runs slipstick.com).

It might just be a simple registry value that is getting changed whenever you toggle that setting. Suggest you trying using RegMon or RegShot to see if you can capture the change. If so, then you can write a custom ADM or use the GPP Registry extension to populate the setting. -----Original Message----- From: gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:gptalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shane Williford Sent: Sunday, July 27, 2008 7:58 PM To: gptalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [gptalk] Office Modification? Hi All... I was wanting to know if anyone has successfully disabled Autopreview and/or the Reading Pane in Outlook via Group Policy and how you did so. I didn't see specific policies for this in the Office Resource Kit or the Office 2K3 ADM Template. Any info is as always greatly appreciated. Thanks!
