Global Folder View

[Bryan McDaniel]

Does anyone know how to make the Folder list the default view in 2003? I
know how to do it on a per user basis, but we are using SMS to upgrade from
Office 2000. I can not find anything for it in the custom install wizard or
anywhere. Any Ideas?

Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\WunderBar

Value name: BootModule

Value type: REG_DWORD

Value: 0 to show the Mail folders, 5 to show the Folder List, and 6 to show the Shortcuts pane. (The Shortcuts pane needs to have the Inbox folder in it, if the Inbox is the user’s startup folder.)

This only works for the current user. We have 5,000 users...I can't run
this on all users.
Is there a GPO or anything?

You can create your own .adm file to add it as a preference setting, or deploy it in your login script, or deploy it with Custom Installation Wizard, etc. etc.

There are no user setting in the Custom installation Wizard, if there are
then I want to know where. There is a place to make changes to the
registry, but it only works for the user logged in at time of install.

You can add any registry value in the CIW on screen 12.

And this is for all users? how does that work? We have roaming profiles so
the HKCU key is stored in the profile and not on the machines.

Yes, it's for all users if you deploy Outlook with CIW. But it's just a registry value and, like any other, you can deploy it with a login script or whatever means you use to set registry values for clients when they log in.
