Hi to everybody!

I've listened that is possible to create a .reg file where mail account info
is writen. This way, I can send this file to any user in order to configure
its mail account with just doing a double click on the .reg file.

Does anybody know more info about this, or reference where I can look for it
....??

Many thanks in advance!
Cheers.

Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension (not .reg) and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...c_60I&respos=3

The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources.
