We have a network with Windows Server 2000 on the server, and Windows 2000 on all the workstations. We use Active Directory for user and computer management.

Now, I was wondering where the settings are saved for Microsoft Excel as I want to update all user's settings without having to go round to each one individually which is obviously a tedious task.

Any help is appreciated :)

Tom.

You know, I could have sworn I tried there. My mistake. Thanks Jeroen :)

You wouldn't know how I could modify that from my workstation do you? :D

remotely? or locally :s

if remotely i think you would have to write a simple P2p registry editor ;) but keep in mind that older excel versions MIGHT store info in a little bit diffrent reg position

It's ok actually. I've made a .reg file. I'll add a line to the login script to execute it next time they restart (tomorrow morning most likely),

Thanks again for the help Jeroen :)
