Is there an editable Outlook config file?

[Leigh Bennett]

Our clients currently use a mixture of Office 2000 &
Office XP using an Exchange server for mail.
At the moment, when setting up a new PC, i have to
configure every option in Outlook, Word etc,etc. I want to
know if its possible to enable a default setup to save me
time in this repetitive task.
For example, all users must use the 'Arial' font when
writing documents in word etc, etc and users of Outlook
must always have the spell checker enabled and must always
use the 'English UK' dictionary.

Is it possible to just copy and paste a config file into
Outlook, etc,etc or the registry, to enable all these
settings?

If it is possible to do the above, are there any
limitations? i.e. something must be edited/added in the
registry and not the config file?

thanks

Have you looked at the Office Resource Kit for your version of Office? It
tells you how to build your custom installation with all of the information
you described pre-defined.
