It does not appear as though I can change the UserTemplate Location via GPO. &nbsp;The administrative templates that you can modify via GPO don't have the option to do what I want here. &nbsp;I don't want to share templates between users.<br />
<br />
I can change it manually for the logged on user, but I need that change to stick and apply to all users who login. &nbsp;I have checked and can't find the path to do it in the registry either. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I figured if I could find the correct key that changes it for a user than I can just add that entry to a login script to be run for every user who logs in...<br />
<br />
Any thoughts or help would be grand. &nbsp;Thanks.

I was attempting to find a way to change the default usertemplate location in Word2003 (Tools - Options - File Locations) for every user who logs into the box. &nbsp;There doesn't seem to be a way to do this via GPO.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know of how I can accomplish it?<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
