So you already installed Office and want to change it afterwards ... Usually, you customize the package before deploying it to the workstations. As a post-deployment method, you could use the Office Maintenance Wizard which is part of the Office 2003 Resource Kit Tools. This nice little tools allows you to customize the whole suite and to deploy the settings to the field.

The Office Profile Settings Wizard would to the job. This tool is also part of the Office Resource Kit Tools package and can be preconfigured in an INI file. Then you run the Wizard and create the OPS file. To deploy these settings to the workstations, you may use a simple logon script which runs the Wizard from the command line to import the OPS file once and creates a REG key that you read to make sure the script runs only once on every machine.
