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!

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!

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.

markcommentswith controls the name used (in my case "diane poremsky") , not
whether or not the feature is enabled. markcomments (a 0 or 1 value) turns
the feature off or on.

If you have the policies key, its controlled by group policy. if no policy
exists, it falls back to
Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\MailSettings \. You could try deleting
the policies key and see what happens - or add the data values to
Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\MailSettings \

This is mark comments disabled:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\C ommon\MailSettings]
"MarkComments"=dword:00000000

Hmm interesting. I guess thats good to know. If it is a policy would you
know what the setting would be called? I checked our outlook policy and dont
see anything set regarding stationary etc.

Still doesnt explain why me changing the name of key "fixes" it haha

Upon further inspection of our policy i saw a setting called Enable marking
of Comments which to me would mean it "allow" them to be disabled but should
also allow the user to choose to not mark comments. As a test i deinied my
user name from that policy and now the setting stays put. I guess its just
poor wording in the explanation of the policy. We wanted commenting to be
marked by defualt but didnt realize using this policy meant the user couldn't
override the setting. Sorry for wasting your time.

It's not a waste if it helps someone... the thread contains good information
that can help others looking for the keys or trying to figure out why its
not working as they expect it should.

"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!
