I need a way to change the "default file locations" in
Word and Excel. In the registry these are referred to as
the DOC-PATH for Word and the DefaultPath for Excel. Can
this be done with a vb script? I have 17 computers that
about 120 people use. Roaming profiles are not allowed in
our organization. I am trying to avoid manually changing
this for each profile.
 
Create a local .reg file that includes the desired changes,
then test it like so:

regedit -s c:\fileloc.reg

When you're happy that it works, use psexec.exe (free from
www.sysinternals.com) to depoy it.
