Word / Tools / Options / "File Locations" greyed out

[craigrm2005]

Hi,

I'm currently working on upgrading all of our Word XP users to Word
2003, using an administrative install point with SP3 rolled in and a
custom maintenance file.

Odd thing is that for some reason my file locations tab under tools/
options is now grayed out in Word 2003.

I have no idea what option is available to make this happen, but
somehow it's happening, and I can see no remedy in the Office Resource
Kit settings.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks,

Craig

The registry key, as discovered by a co-worker is:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\General]
"HidePathInAlerts"=dword:00000000

Ours was set to 1 which greys out (hides) the Tools; Options; File
Locations tab.
