Default PRF and Registry settings


I have created a PRF file that sets up every area of outlook 2002 for our
users, except for three areas. 1. Do not prompt for AutoArchive, 2. Location
for AutoArchive being H:\outlook\archive.pst, and 3. send/receive - Schedual
an automatic send/receive.

Can anybody tell me what entries I can add to the PRF file or what registry
entries need to be made/imported to set those areas.

I have been throught the White Paper from Microsoft, but it does not cover
most of the settings options that need to be set.

Default Re: PRF and Registry settings

1) Not part of the mail profile. Control with group policy or any other registry technique.

Key: HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Preferences
Value name: PromptForAging
Value type: REG_DWORD
Value data: 1 = Enabled, 0 = Disabled

2) http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;836755

3) Not possible.

I've seen a few cases where the UI didn't match the policy settings. THe real question is whether the user is actually getting prompted.
