I am interested in knowing if there is a way to automate a
write to a registry on a windows 2000 Pro workstation.
The entry is to modify the file location in word. I've
already pulled out the registry key into a reg file. Is
there a way to roll out the registry change in my domain?
Using Kixlogin script or other options?

TIA

You did not say the location of the change(s). If in HKCU and if
registry ACLs permit the change then you might consider merging a .REG
file from the logon script. Such as
%systemroot%\regedit.exe /s path-to-regfile.reg

NTx systems only. Kix not required. Group policies may be another
option. May help understanding if you post the registry path.

The path is

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0
\Common\FileNew\LocalTemplates]
@="\\\\lskdfs3\\apps\\Microsoft Office\\Workgroup Template"

I have no similar key/value here with W2K and Office2K, but AFAIK all
those keys/values are Current User writable, so a user-authority
registry merge should work. Other details might be better found in
an Office group.
