for some strange reason MS keeps all this in the registry in hex. Like Neil mentiones, KIx has a nice hex conversion function you can use to parse this. If you look around the Kix forums, there are some sample kix scripts for doing some of this. You might be able to slice out a part to do what you want and put it in a login script.

Indeed there is - I wrote a script to do this in 98 (I think) for Office 97, using Kixtart. All that's really changed since I wrote it, is that Kix now has a decimal to hex conversion function built in, and the various Office incarnations, since, have a incremented version number for their hierarchies under HKCU. What version of Office are you using?
