PRF Disable Autoarchive & get more info on PRF's

[Austin]

Hello

I am trying to make it to Autoarchive is unchecked by default in the Outlook
2003 PRF file.

I set the "DoAutoArchive=False" but it doesn't take this setting into
account for some reason.

Also I was wondering, there seems to be a lot of commands that are not put
into this file that can be added manually... but the information on these
commands is very hard to find. Is there a reposatory or a good book that has
all the hidden commands that can be put into a PRF somewhere?

Thanks a bunch!

The excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?assetid=HA011403051033&QueryID=pHm7c_60I&respos=3 explains a lot of the inner workings of PRF Files. My book, Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003, offers a detailed walkthrough of how to discover the meanings of different profile registry settings and convert them into PRF file settings.

Turning AutoArchive on and off isn't a function of the .prf file, because it's not part of the mail profile settings but part of the Windows user profile. As such, it can be controlled by GPO.
