Changing the Default File Saving Location for users on a network

[madman070578]

I am looking for a way for setting users default saved file location in office to the the users home directory on the network.

I used to be able to do this in Office 97 with the Office Resource Kit and NT4's System policies.

Now I have upgraded to Windows Server 2003 - with either Windows 2000/Xp on the clients and Office 2000/XP and I can't find a way of doing it - anywone have any solutions?

The following registry entries hold the values
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\PowerPoint\RecentFolderList
Default value

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Word\Options
DOC-PATH value

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Excel\Options
DefaultPath value

If you are using ZEN you can set the above entries to be changed "just once" (do set them as proper import entries e.g. go to registry, export the entries to a file and change the values on that file)
