Auto-configuring mail accounts through a .reg file
Hi to everybody!
I've listened that is possible to create a .reg file where mail account info is writen. This way, I can send this file to any user in order to configure its mail account with just doing a double click on the .reg file. Does anybody know more info about this, or reference where I can look for it ....?? Many thanks in advance! Cheers. |

Auto-configuring mail accounts through a .reg file
Microsoft uses text files with a .prf extension (not .reg) and a highly structured format to provide information to OUtlook that enables Outlook to create or modify a mail profile. You can create such .prf files with the Custom Installation Wizard or Custom Maintenance Wizard tools in the Office Resource Kit. For more details, including a variety of .prf deployment methods, read the excellent white paper "Configuring Outlook Profiles by Using a PRF File" at http://office.microsoft.com/search/r...60 I&respos=3
The page at http://www.slipstick.com/exs/olroam.htm includes information on other profile tools and resources. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Configuring Microsoft Outlook 2003 http://www.turtleflock.com/olconfig/index.htm and Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "dazapau" wrote in message ...
