Word Template Directory's
Hello everybody.
I have an incredible tough question for me, but i think it's rather simple for you guys..
The problem: In Word, both the workgrouptemplates directory and the usertemplates directory are set to the same network drive. This results in Normal.dot problems.
What I want: I want to set the usertemplates directory to the local usertemplate folder, and just the workgrouptemplates directory to the network share. However, I do not want to log in in each account, go to word, edit the settings, log out, password change blalbla.
Is there a way to do this by using the AD? I have been thinking about Registry keys which I can set, but I could not find anything.
Anyone ideas?
ps. Sorry for my bad english. I'm dutch.

Thanks a lot!
We have a login.bat script running. In this script are some registry values already put in the registry. Can I just add those? Or is this not the way i supposed to do this?
