Hello all, i was wondering if anyone could help with this, we have a script that exports the MRUs as reg keys from office 2010, it exports the following as a .reg file on the source machine, and on the destination machine it imports the reg key so a user moving machines has all of their recent documents:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\File MRU]
"Max Display"=dword:00000019
"Item 1"="[F00000000][T01CF9ABB0FC89840][O00000000]*C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents\\FILENAME.xlsx"
This works absolutely fine when coming from 2010 and going to 2010, however since we have put 2013 on the destination machines, the script doesn't work due to the user ID field being unique to each user:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Excel\User MRU\AD_CC97ADD968A5532BF33D5693E751F2355768058F0819CBCF30AD727C87634047\File MRU]
"Max Display"=dword:00000019
"Item 1"="[F00000000][T01CF9ABB0FC89840][O00000000]*C:\\Users\\USERNAME\\Documents\\FILENAME.xlsx"
would anyone know of a way to export from 2010, obtain the AD_CC9...... ID, and change the .reg file to this as part of a scripted import?
as it stands im having to open each application (word, excel, powerpoint) and click on file to generate the AD_CC..... reg key, then copy the key name from registry editor, and edit my 2010 exported .reg files to re-import manually on the destination machine.
