Office 97 user template folder

[Guest]

Installed office 97 on a windows 2003 terminal server. Followed microsoft's
documentation on how to install office onto terminal server. Ran the
compatibility script. Chose drive V as the drive letter.

When a user logs into terminal server and opens a new document in word, the
message "the user template folder V:\office97\templates was not found. Do you
want to create this folder now? If the user answers yes, word proceeds as
normal. Is this correct for terminal server users or do I need to change
something in the files location under tools/options.

Thank You.

The path to the templates is defined in office97.key (in the ACS
\Install folder), which should contain something like:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0
Common
FileNew
LocalTemplates
= "V:\Office97\Templates"
SharedTemplates
= "P:\msoffice\Templates"

The "V:\Office97\Templates" folder is created when the user logs in
for the first time and runs Ofc97Usr.Cmd (located in ACS\Logon).
This file should be called from UsrLogn2.Cmd (which is called from
UsrLogon.Cmd) and contain something like:

call TsMkUDir "%RootDrive%\Office97\Templates"

Thank You. Ofc97Usr.Cmd was missing from the folder. It's working now.
