Office 2007 Settings NOT SAVING on logoff

L

Ok, this is driving me nuts. I have Office 2007 in a Domain environment with
Roaming profiles.

I want to customize the Quick Access Toolbar.

However, when I do the changes by adding the icons, and then logoff, the
changes are Deleted.

The reason is for SOME WEIRD reason, Microsoft puts these settings changes
in the "User\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Office" folder INSTEAD
of the User\Application Data\Microsoft\Office folder. (I tested by deleting
the local settings\office folder while logged on and it deleted the changes-
restoring, restored the changes)

Local Settings are NEVER uploaded to the profile server, therefore my
settings are deleted on logoff (I don't cache profiles because I have 2500
users who roam between machines).

Does anyone have a hack for this? I have downloaded the Office Group
Policies but there are NO group Policies for this.

I can see this Local Settings issue also being HUGE when I finally have to
introduce Vista. It seems that 50% of settings for profiles for Vista are
stored in the non-roaming folder.

Does Microsoft actually build products properly for a Domain environment
anymore?

Thanks
Lara
