Office 2000 Default Save Location.

[AdamIsRockWild 0]

Is there any way to automate the default save location of office 2000 to a "home directory" for every user that logs on to an NT Machine?

 

like exporting a registry key and implementing it into the script with a default location of \\server\%username% so whenever a user logs on to ANY machine they have access to their data via the "dumb user" way of just clicking "OPEN"

 

where is this key located at? anyone?

Try network profiles

You can modify user home directory's ie mapped drives

Add Custom Places to the Office Dialog Box (All Versions)

Category: Enhancements > Software > Microsoft Office

This tweak is used to add custom places to the Office 2000 and Office XP Open and Save As dialog boxes.

 

Open your registry and find the key below. For Office XP replace "9.0" with "10.0" in the registry key, as Office XP is internally known as Office 10.

 

For each custom place create a new sub-key called "PlaceX" where X is a unique number starting at 1 (i.e. Place1, Place2 ...). Open the new sub-key and create two new string values called "Name" and "Path" and set them to equal the display name and folder path respectively.

 

Restart Office for the change to take effect.
