Customize/Remove 'My Places' via Active Directory

B

Brian Grigg

Hello,

I know you can customize and I think even hide the 'My Places' in Office via
the registry, but I'm looking to do this for a whole group of computers, so
editing the registry on every one really isn't my best option...I hope.
Plus I'd like to do it for only a certain group of people, so if I did the
registry, it would affect any user that logged on to that PC. I thought you
could do it with the Office admin/GPO templates, but I couldn't find
anything in them.

I have mixed Windows 2000 and XP PC's with Office 2000 and XP installations.
I did modifty the GPO to get rid of the 'My Places' within just Windows, but
Office evidently uses it's own dialog boxes and ignores this setting (like
when opening WordPad the 'My Places' is not there anymore). I'm not sure if
I want to get rid of it completely, or just remove some entries, but it
would be nice to have the option of doing both.

Thanks in advance,
Brian
