Locked out of default file location
When setting up office XP on a new computer in our office, I accidently put in a file location that was incorrect. Used W:****** instead of W:\***** now I am locked out with an can not find W:**** and will not let me change the setting, even uninstalled and reinstalled and it is still doing this. Any thoughts?

Hello Paul, Most likely it's an entry in the registry that's causing you the problem. Even when you uninstall a program, often times there are many registry entries that are never removed. You should look into a registry editor program like Registry First Aid to help cleanup the registry before attempting another installation. If you feel uncomfortable with doing this yourself, you may want to ask around and find someone who has the experience to do it. You can royally screw things up if you are not sure what you doing.

Thanks Leith I dont have a problem with going in to the registry entries, but I was not aware that the default file locations were set in their, as I said all I have done is left out the \ from the W:*** but it just refuses to allow any further change Paul -- Paul Donaldson ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Paul Donaldson's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=2646 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=374053 |
