Default File Blocking frustration

Im trying to figure out how to disable the file blocking feature in Office
2007 and Office 2003 SP3. Ive tried the registry entries outlined in Q922849
and after rebooting they are not working. Trusted locations is not an option
as my users need to be able to open documents from all over our network as
well as from Outlook email attachments (you can't enter a Temp folder in the
Trusted Locations UI). In addition, the file blocking feature doesn't seem
to be applied consistently as I have no problems with it blocking docs that I
try to open on my machine and the registry entries discussed in Q922849 are
not present in my registry.
And just to top it all off I downloaded the Office 2007 GPO templates
(because I assumed the registry entries would fix the problem) so that I
could apply the needed changes without having to go to each machine and
running a .reg file. Imagine my surprise, after adding the templates to the
GPO editior, to find everything in German. And yes, I specified English when
downloading, even tried it twice.
Can anyone give me a reliable way to disable the various Office applications
from blocking old version files?
