How do I globally turn off Reading Layout?
Spencer Hamons 11/23/2005 8:11:03 PM
I have three Citrix servers and all are running Office2k3. I have been asked
by the
Executive council to figure out how to "turn off the *$&% reading layout".
I can't figure out how to do it globally without having each user log into
each of the three servers and make the changes manually. Is there a switch
or option setting I can use that will make the change across the board on the
individual Citrix servers?

Hi Spencer

Presumably someone who dislikes Reading Layout so much they want to "turn
off the *$&% reading layout" could manage the four mouse clicks necessary to
do Tools > Options > General and un-tick "Allow starting in Reading Layout"?

You are correct. But when you have 300 users and 75% of them are complaining
about the readout, and considering that we have 3 load balanced Citrix
servers that would require a user to do the same 4 mouse clicks on all three
servers to get the reading layout to default to something they prefer, that
equates to 2700 mouse clicks.

So, back to the question, does anyone know how to turn this off gloabally.
