Workgroup Templates file location "Lost"?
Hi all,
We have our workgroup templates on the network. We configure Word 2000 to that location on the network. For Example: S:\Templates. But sometimes users lose the location of the workgroup templates. The other configurations made stay intact. I would like to know where word 2000 stores the configurations and how we can prevent the losing of the workgroup templates location in Word. If any of you have a clue, your help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! Gradje. |

Workgroup Templates file location "Lost"?
The information is stored in the registry. Specifically, for each user
it's stored in the value named SharedTemplates within the key HKEY_USERS\user ID\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\General where user ID is something unique for each profile, like S-1-5-21-725345543-606747145-639522115-1002. Also, the '9.0' is the specific version number for Office 2000. Also note that if the Workgroup Templates location is blank, the SharedTemplates value doesn't exist -- it's created only when the location is set to a value other than the default. When a user logs in on the machine, the value from HKEY_USERS\user ID is automatically copied to the same location under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. That's the one that is actually used by Word. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
