I am about to roll out a mixture of Office 2013 and Office 365 Pro Plus, finalizing UI and GPO settings, have a couple things I am wrestling with.
1. Is there a way via GPO or registry edits to set the default "Office Background" to "No Background"? I am not talking about the office theme, but the office background. I found where you can DISABLE backgrounds via GPO. But that is not what I am trying to do here, I want to set the background to a certain default background (no background) as the default, but not completely remove the users ability to set a background themselves. Setting disable in the GPO sets it so the user cannot set the background at all.
2. MS Word, is there a way to set Word that when you open Word, it goes right into a new blank document rather than the "recent" page. This is confusing to users and I want to set default to the old way which is just open a blank document
3. The "Open" dialog box in all Office Suite components. Is there a way to remove our Office 365 Sharepoint link and OneDrive from the open dialog? Or at least re-order it? Also I dont know who came up with this, but "computer" is a bad way to describe network files. It seems unnecessary for a user to have to click open, then computer, then browse to just get to the network drives... this seems silly. Hint Hint Microsoft, not everyone is using Sharepoint, not everyone likes sharepoint, some of us will NEVER use Sharepoint, stop trying to force us to use it...
4. Completely remove sharepoint integration? Can you do this? I want no reference to Sharepoint in Office
