Most of those settings should be in the registry, which means you can update
the central repository of registry settings by putting the server into
install mode, making the change, and putting it back into execute mode.
Assuming the app is written properly and tries to put the reg keys into
HKCU, then the terminal server will trap it all and place it in (uh, I
think) HKLM\software\microsoft\windows NT\currentversion\terminal
server\install.
The tricky bit is populating out those changes to existing users. IIRC, the
changes you make to registry keys in the manner described above won't get
automagically pushed out to the users if they already have values set for
those keys in their user hives; the values are only pulled from the central
point if the app goes to look for a setting and doesn't find it in the
user's hive. So, for example, if you want to change the default templates
folder in Word from the factory setting (maybe c:\documents and
settings\username\application data\microsoft\templates) to the user's home
drive (maybe h:\templates) you may have to make the change, then blow away
the user's profile so they pull those settings next time they log in. Or
push the settings in a login script if you don't like deleting user
profiles.
If you're unsure of where an app writes settings like the ones you're
looking to change, you can trap them using Regmon and/or Filemon from
Sysinternals.

The files get saved to our network storage device not locally. Also, I'll
check into the autosave feature. That brings another question about Office
and Citrix. If I want to turn off a feature or add a new toolbar item for
all to see, how would I do that? Log on as Administrator, chgusr/ install,
and then make my changes?
Thanks,
Matt

Sounds like it could be a problem with your pathing or possibly your
profiles.
This would explain the periodic freezing (autosave feature turned on?)
Where are you saving your files to? If you're saving to the client hard
drive and the client is on a slow link...there's your answer.

Subject: [THIN] Office 97 Apps freezing in Citrix
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem I'm having. We
are using Office 97 with Metaframe 1.8 SP4/Windows 2000 and every once in a
while while typing in Outlook or Word, etc the cursor will freeze for up to
a minute before it comes back. This has also happened when saving documents
in Office. Is this a known issue? We have three Citrix servers and it has
happened on all three.
Thanks
