Auto-creation of hyperlinks

How can I disable the auto-creation of hyperlinks through the registry. I'm
trying to force this setting for the entire machine.
 
This setting is an individual user setting stored in the Word data key with
a lot of other data. This is a binary key and does not lend itself to user
editing through the registry.

An alternative approach would be to create a global template containing the
following macro

Sub AutoExec()
Options.AutoFormatAsYouTypeReplaceHyperlinks = False
End Sub

which would turn it off each time Word is started.

Why through the registry? Auto creation of Hyperlinks in Word is a Word
setting; it's not in the registry and it doesn't affect anything else on
your computer.
 
Is there a way to do this and still prevent users from running macros? We
are trying to harden a terminal server for external access, and basically we
need to disable the ability to follow any hyperlinks from Word,Excel and
PowerPoint. I'm a developer who's admittedly lost when it comes to Office
configuration, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
