Where are Word 2003 options stored?
Hi -- I'm looking in the registry for some of Word 2003's options
(Tools | Options). I see a very few of them there in HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word, but I'm looking specifically for the default File Locations. Any help would be appreciated. |

It's a trick question! g The _default_ file locations never appear in the registry. Only when you set a non-default location does anything get written. There can be a separate value under the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Options for each entry in the dialog. Their names are Documents = DOC-PATH Clipart pictures = PICTURE-PATH AutoRecover files = AUTOSAVE-PATH Tools = TOOLS-PATH Startup = STARTUP-PATH The Templates and Workgroup entries are in a different key in the registry, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\General, as the values named Templates and SharedTemplates. Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/212242 for a discussion for Word 2000. Little has changed for Word 2003 except the "11.0" version key. -- 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. |

Under HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\ Options\, I
see one key, and it's for DOC-PATH. Could that possibly be what I'm looking for -- default File Location for Documents? I've never seen this '\POLICIES\ hive before.

That indicates that a group policy has been applied, either through the Group
Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) or through a modification to the installation package. Otherwise there wouldn't be any Office branch under the Microsoft key. Talk to your IT department.

Possibly you could -- assuming you have access rights to change that key.
A better solution would be to delete the whole HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\ Options key if you can, and then set the location through Word's options dialog. -- 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.
