Yes. We do you use GPO's but not for this stuff. That key is also found
where you stated however renaming it only does the trick in HKU no HKCU.

It's as if Outlook wants to change a key called MarkCommentWith (according
to process minitor) but that key just doesnt exist.

Update: I ran a procmon while applying the change of unchecking "mark my
comments with" and noticed it was tryting to access the key:

HKU\S-1-5-21-79331101-1198936889-320618023-8679\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Commo n\MailSettings\MarkCommentsWith

Upon inspection I saw that the key was actually called just MarkComments.
Strange. So I renamed it to MarkCommentsWith. Opened outlook. made the
change. Closed outlook and reopened to see that the change stayed this
time,
eventhough the value of the key stayed 1 and did not chagne to 0. Again
strange.

I think this should be submitted as a bug to MS. I am going to email my
TAM
as well.

Please let me know if you have any other info.

Thanks!

Is there any way to make Outlook save my settings? I have to keep
resetting
Tools/Options/Mail Format/Stationery and Fonts/Mark My Comments With
(deselecting it). Every time I re-open outlook the box is checked
again.

Thanks!
