Office & productivity software: "windows is configuring office xp" for every user

"windows is configuring office xp" for every user

by rgm00 - 9/22/07 2:29 AM

I have computers in a lab where hundreds of students will be logging in, each with his/her username.

For every user that logs on the first, I get this normal "Office XP" behavior and the next time the user logs on it won't do that anymore. However, it's very annoying for students who will randomly sit and different computers, and they will have to face that thing each time.

Any hint on how to bypass this issue, or how to make Office ignore about customizing itself for each user?

Best regards,
Ralph

This area is a "no fix" zone. I've learned to ignore it.

Using roaming users will solve the problem.

Roaming users take their setting with them.

Hope this helps.

SOLUTION!

I have suffered from the same problem for almost a month now with my Office Professional 2007 software. After lots and lots of headache, I finally came to a solution for my case. Just follow the steps on the link below. Turned out my registry permissions were changed somehow and I needed to reset them all.
