RE: Where should I put files

Hi

Do you mean the dot file as a template for word?
If so I think you may try to put in the User's profile directory.
e.g.
%userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP

But in this way, you have to store copies for each user.
Also Windows XP has Shared Documents Folder
<Documents and Settings>\All Users\Documents
The Shared Documents folder in My Documents is new in Windows XP
Professional. This folder appears when two or more user accounts are
created on the local computer. Files can be shared among multiple users of
the same computer. In a network environment, files can be copied or moved
to a folder on another computer.

By default, the Shared Documents folder is automatically shared and made
accessible to all other computers on the network.

But we can not stop the administrator from disabling folders on the
computer for sharing. So I think we can not guarantee certain folder will
be accessible in any situation.
e.g. %userprofile%\Application Data\Microsoft\Word\STARTUP is also a common
folder, but the administrator can prevent anyone from access to it and even
delete it.
