Force default view for new users

[Luuke]

Hello,

Exchange 2003 SP1, Outlook XP. Each time we create a new user we would
like that by default all the folders get displayed when he logs in (at
least at the first logon).

Any idea ?

Is it a registry key ? Or a group policy ?

Thanks for your help !

Regards,

Luuke

It is possible to force Outlook to open with a particular navigation pane displayed, by adding this registry entry and setting the appropriate value:



Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\WunderBar

Value name: BootModule

Value type: REG_DWORD

Value: 0 to show the Mail folders, 5 to show the Folder List, and 6 to show the Shortcuts pane. (The Shortcuts pane needs to have the Inbox folder in it, if the Inbox is the user's startup folder.)
