I have added lines in my script to change the default file SAVE location for office 97.
The script runs and the registry is change and this work for excel, but not word.The change is made in the registry for word and if I go into Word TOOLS, OPTIONS and file location, the change is made for the default and the auto save, but when I am in Word and go to file save as ,the SAVE IN is alway c:\.
I have also add lines for the shell folders and the user shell folder. what am i missing Does anyone know.
Here are the lines
WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER\SHELL FOLDERS", "PERSONAL", "\\comop6\USERS$$\@USERID", "REG_SZ")
WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS\CURRENTVERSION\EXPLORER\USER SHELL FOLDERS", "PERSONAL", "\\comop6\USERS$$\@USERID", "REG_SZ")WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\8.0\WORD\OPTIONS", "DOC-PATH", "\\comop6\\USERS$$\@USERID", "REG_SZ")
WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\8.0\WORD\OPTIONS", "Autosave-PATH", "\\comop6\\USERS$$\@USERID", "REG_SZ")
WriteValue ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\OFFICE\8.0\EXCEL\MICROSOFT EXCEL", "DefaultPath", "\\comop6\USERS$$\@USERID", "REG_SZ")

If I remember right there was some funky stuff when setting that default drive.Can you try setting it to a common drive letter? (H:\Documents) instead of the UNC? I think there may have been a problem with using a UNC on that dialog, but It's been a while since I've played with it. You could also use the Policy template (off97nt4.ADM) from the Office Resource Kit.
http://www.microsoft.com/office/ork/download/SetupPol.exe I have used the above policy and it works well.
