mraeryceos Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 I would like to know if you have some preconfigured reg files or ops files with your personal commenting that would be useful in creating my own reg file for changing the ms office options/settings, much like I do for unattended ms windows. I prefer reg files, rather than ops files because I feel like it adds another layer of useless complexity that Microsoft is quite adept at.Default settings are useless. There is probably tons of stuff to tweak that I don't even know of because I don't use office. For example, turning off the "personalized menus" and the getting started window pane that you keep having to X out of when you start ms word.I will also be looking at X-Setup because it has some MSO2003 plug-ins.Example of what I'm looking for (but the example is for winxp):Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 ;
