Installing stationery
Hi
I have custom stationery in the form of an html file. I need to send it to a client and need to give them an easy way to install on each pc. Is there a way I can do this such as send them a batch file or script that when run automatically copies the html file in the current user's stationery folder and if possible also set it to be the current stationery in outlook? Thanks Regards |
Installing stationery
It's certainly possible, but decidedly non-trivial to automatically deploy a
signature to another user's Outlook profile and copy the signature file to the correct location. First, all signatures are stored in the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures folder. So you'd need to know or retrieve in code the Windows account name of the currently logged on user in order to batch deploy and .rtf, .htm or .txt signature files. Secondly, there is some sample code that illustrates how to designate a particular signature as the default: OutlookCode.com :: Outlook Code Samples :: Outlook Expert Techniques :: Set email account signature in Outlook 2003: http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=821 However, you'd still need to implement this code into a distributable and generic enough solution for installation or execution on another PC. This last requirement would pretty much kill your goal as it would be far too much effort. Best to attach the signature to an e-mail and instruct the user how to change the default signature through Outlook settings. -- Eric Legault (Outlook MVP, MCDBA, MCTS: Messaging & Collaboration) Try Picture Attachments Wizard for Outlook: http://www.collaborativeinnovations.ca Blog: http://blogs.officezealot.com/legault/ "John" wrote: Hi I have custom stationery in the form of an html file.
