Strange Autoarchiving problem

G

GardenMan

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and I was wondering if any of you could help me.
I have a Laptop built with Windows 2000 Pro and Office 2000 (sp3).
I've been having problems keeping autoarchiving enabled for standard
users: When I log on as an admin, load outlook, go to
tools>options>other>autoarchive and tick the box to 'autoarchive every
x days', exit, log out of windows, log back in, check the same setting
and it is still ticked as expected. However, when i log on as a
standard user and make the same setting as the admin user, log out,
then log back in, the autoarchive box is unticked again! If i tick it,
and make sure autoarchive is set up on the folders, then go to
file>archive, it archives fine. But, it still loses the autoarchive
setting when I logoff/logon.
It is almost as if the profile settings are not being kept - however,
when i change other outlook settings, the standard user retains these.
It is only losing the autoarchive setting!
I have reinstalled office (after cleaning out the old installation
from the reg and file structure) and still the same occurs.
I've also tried assigning 'everyone' full control permissions to the
'Program Files' structure and also to the office registry hive to no
avail.
I was hoping someone on here may have seen the same before and hence
could offer some kind of fix?
Any help much appreciated,
Léon
