[THIN] Re: Welcome to Reading layout popup

Hi Chris,

 

Office products store settings either in the registry or in .pip files (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/912721), or in .qat files (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd347467.aspx) and then there's the reg_binary stuff that you can't do with a group policy anyway unless you've got the DesktopStandard PolicyMaker Registry Extension 2.1. It's a free download and if you hunt around you should be able to find it. Otherwise drop me a line and I'll make it available via my ftp site.

 

Thomas Koetzing has a script to save the qat files: http://www.thomaskoetzing.de/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_details&gid=178

 

But if you did want to turn off the reading layout it's not that easy and may need some scripting, eg:

 

You can use a couple of auto macros in your Normal template (or add the code to these macros if they already exist):

Sub AutoOpen()
Options.AllowReadingMode = False
End Sub

Sub AutoNew()
Options.AllowReadingMode = False
End Sub

For assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Hey All,

 

Does anybody know the registry entry that stops the "Welcome to Reading Layout popup" from occurring when opening a Word attachment through Outlook?  I want the reading layout, just the popup removed.  I have tried process monitor and it didn't show the key that gets changed when clicking on the "Don't show this again button"  Since I am using mandatory profiles this popup appears again at next logon.

 

Thanks,

 

Chris
