outlook contact categories

[Ponch]

Hello,

I use outlook 2003,
On my exchange server i have a public folder contacts.
When i use outlook to make new contacts in that folder, sometimes i also
make a new categorie.
I think, these categories are saved local on my pc, because on other pc's,
i don't find
these categories, also not when i logon on another pc with the account that
created the categorie.
Is there a way to configure these thing, so that all categories made by
users are visible for everyone?

Tx,

Distribute the Categories registry key. You can find it here;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook

You might want to consider using a contact form that enforces a category set. SEe http://www.outlookcode.com/d/forms/reqcat.htm

ok, that works,
is this the only way?
If several people make new categories, i cannot always distribute the
changes.
but anyway, tx for this tip

Distribute the Categories registry key. You can find it here;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook
