W2003: File Locations resetting to default when computer reboots
The location for the templates is supposed to be set to a folder on our
network server. It keeps the settings when closing and opening Word, but if the computer is rebooted (even with Word closed) it resets to the default folder on the C: drive. Was ist los? |

W2003: File Locations resetting to default when computer reboots
The location should be saved in the registry, in the key
HKEY_USERS\user_id\Software\Microsoft\Office\11. 0\Word\Options (where user_id is S-1-5- followed by several long numbers), in a value named DOC-PATH. When you reboot and log in, this value is transferred to a value in a key with the same name except that HKEY_USERS\user_id is replaced by HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If the DOC-PATH value doesn't exist, Word uses the default path. So what appears to be happening is that you change the path in Word and the value is set in HKEY_CURRENT_USER, but not in the HKEY_USERS area. When you reboot, the absence of the value gets transferred, and the default returns. You need to make sure your login has the proper access rights to write to the HKEY_USERS key. To do that, and to fix it if necessary, you need to log in as an administrator on that machine. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Sun, 20 Aug 2006 10:37:01 -0700, EdwardSF wrote: The location for the templates is supposed to be set to a folder on our network server.
