Hi there,
I work in a school and in order to keep the computers as "user friendly" as
possible when I set up a new machine I configure it how I want it then copy
the NTUSER.dat file into default users and viola, configured computer for the
students by passing all of Microsoft's "helpfull" can I expalin this feature
to you rubbish.
My ultimate goal is to have the footer infomation of every Office document
include the person's username. Changing the footer is no problem, shared
templates etc. etc. The problem is actually getting Word to show the correct
information.
Idea 1: Use domain user information. Problem can't get Word to display that
info.
Idea 2: Use Word's "username" field. The problem here is that Word sets this
the first time it's run based on the logged in user. So when I copy my
setting accross it puts in my (administrator) username. Word saves this
information in the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\common \userinfo
Now I can delete this key and then copy my settings however when Word is run
it brings up a dialogue box with a prompt. This may sound like the solution
however I do not want to give pupil's ideas like putting other people's
usernames in or offensive words so I do not want this to appear.
Any ideas? I either need to be able to have Word (or any other Office
application) pick up the Domain User info or set the Office user info to the
current user at login or accept Word's own dialogue box without prompt.
