Changing default paths to templates, toolbars, etc., in O2K?

[StargateFan]

I'm in a bind at the office. I'm constantly replacing a colleague now
and I have to be at her desk. It's been a pain not to have access to
my system so yesterday re-routed files so that my general and default
templates and toolbar files for, say, Word and Excel are on the
network. Now when I log on even at her station, I have mostly
everything working exactly as if I were at my own computer.

However, haven't figured out how to deal with Outlook defaults and
template files (along with rwz files and all those other files we back
up). Is there a way to have O2K look to a network folder rather than
the default MS file on the C drive for templates and toolbar, etc.,
files?

Tx.

only if you use roaming profiles.

The easiest way is to ask your admin - they can enable it for you. If you
see your exact desktop and files when you log on, you have roaming profiles.
If you get a clean desktop and don't have access to your files, you're not
roaming.
