Re: ORK and its function

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Bob,

I was trying to do 2 things using a MST (new implementations)
1. Add a file to a certain location (Outlook prf file)
2. Set Send Receive settings. (Outlook specific)

Both of the above did not work.

After running the mst, those changes were never there, until I applied the
patch.
After I applied the patch, I requested from MS, a 'list' of things which
were currently on the 'to be fixed' list for CIW/CMW so that we do not burn
cycles testing every function. That request was declined.

On reviewing the case, i was also advised that Office SP2 would 'help' me
make sure these above actions, and also any other settings would also apply.
That is what I do not understand.

After applying the patch, will the CMW portion (maintenance) work?. Guess I
will have to try it. The reason for this patch info application is to make
users aware, that without the patch, some of the items might not work as
described.
If u require a case number for reference, please send me your email address.
