howto deactivate Microsoft Office 2007 default templates ?

M

Matz

the scenario: A network share with lots of custom templates on a
server (H:\Templates). Clicking on "file new dialog" in Word or Excel
2007 I just want to see the templates in our network share. The local
templates , which came from office 2007 by default I don't want to
see.

I've already disabled the "office online" and activate a grouppolicy
that the "file new dialog" looks in that network share. So, the "file
open dialog" looks now quiet like in older office versions again :)

Here is the reg key which I deploy by a grouppolicy:

HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\General
SharedTemplates=H:\Templates
and
UserTemplates=E:\my templates
The folder for the UserTemplates is empty

Unfortunaly I still see local template folders like (german
installation) "faxe", "lebensläufe", "berichte", .. in english it must
be something like "faxes", "personal data sheet", ...I also tried to
customise the office setup with the option /admin. But I can't find
the right switch for the templates.

does anyone know how I can disable/hide/delete the default (local)
templates in Office 2007 ? If I only delete the templates office tries
to repair the installation... that is not, what I want.

Thanks,
Matz

I found it myself. For everybody who's interested. Empty the unneeded
templates in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Components
