Custome .adm Files

G

Guest

I have had a look through previous posting and the impression I get is that
what I am trying to is possible (although as this is the first time I have
written a custom .adm file then I could be way off).

What I am trying to achieve is to customise the file open dialogue within
Office 2003 for all of our users. The .adm file I have created is shown
below. If I do a GPResult on the XP machine that I am testing on, it shows
that the settings specified have been applied but when I open word the
standard icons are still there the custom ones are not.

FYI we are running XP SP2, Office 2003 SP1, Windows 2000 Domain.

Any help on this would be great.

Steve

Hi,

I haven’t had much success with Custom ADM’s running correctly with
Win 2K. Have you check the MS website to make sure the Office 2003
ADM’s that are available don’t have the settings you want already?

Cheers,

Lara
