I had a template our users used for a short while. This template appears on
the New Document task pane in Word 2003 now when I start up Word. We no
longer use this template - in fact the file the link points to no longer
exists (!) but the link is STILL there. I cannot seem to delete this useless
link from the New Doc Task Pane and since I have 300+ users, I need to find a
way to batch file/SMS the change....

Please help - I have looked everywhere and cannot find a solution!!!

The New Document task pane shows the most recently used templates, but only
four of them. You can use other templates until it drops off the bottom of
the list, or there is probably a Registry key in which this list is saved.
