I'll give it a go. How wrong can it go?

That's the funny thing - I did look as to whether I script it, or had done
in the past. But no dice.
I did check my normal desktop machine, too - 'cos I have it set (can't
remember if I'd set it explicitly, or it's a default). Like you, I found it
odd that I didn't see anything for it. I had remembered that in recent years
I had set it via GPO, though.
I've just had a look at a test user session, and looked at the registry hive
that I believe sets this through GPO. And for the user, here's what's set:-
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Word\Options\vpref\AutoRecover_1
92_8
Data: 0x5 (GPO sets it to 5 minutes, from memory)
Type: REG_DWORD
HTH

Hmmm. Thanks for that Neil. Unfortunately that value doesn't exist in my
registry, even after setting the timeout manually within Word.
Very odd.

Does anyone know where in the registry the Word 2000 AutoRecover time
interval is stored? I want to script a change for all users but haven't been
able to find the key yet.
Looking at the ADM file, looks like it should be:-
HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Word\Options\AutoRecover_192_8
quite possibly you'd need to have the BackGroundSave value set, too.
