Need to force new normal.dotm template

Hei. We need to force powerpoint to automatically open a new default template in powerpoint 2007. Either via GPO or some other means. the template file itself is already automatically put in "C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates". Must be put locally on the client and not a share.

Have not been able to find any GPO or registry settings that specify this. Not able to find any setting for this in the office 2007 admx files i added to the GPO. I know about micr. off. 2007 system->shared paths, but that just specifies the path and not the template file to use for default (i.e. when u click new document).

Hi, Thanks for replying. We already use login script to copy the template. I see i made a mistake. It's a .potm template (powerpoint) not .dotm (word). The template is copied just fine, but we can't get office to use the template as default.
