[ms office - 2010] Anyone bored? Problem to be solved...Can't find a reg key!

[TechSupp]

Have the problem of Word using *.dotx as its default file filter when you start Word and then click open. (Its my own fault I was looking at templates when I created the master PC image and forgot to change it back to *.docx and no, reimaging all the school PC's with the correct value set is not an option!)

 

I am of course presuming its held in the registry, I have tried to use process monitor to see where this value is held but at the moment its beating me to find it, tried all sorts of filters to find it but no luck yet. Setting the option to default save, default save as etc is all in there somewhere but cant find where it sets the initial value to filter open file types. So if anyone is bored and thinks they can have a crack at solving this I would be most welcome as its got me beat! I have opened the file Open dialogue and set the filter type and the value is set then as if I cancel that dialogue and then reopen the dialogue its still set to the new value I just set.

I would try using an msi snapshot program like emco. Start the snapshot, make the change in the GUI, stop the snapshot and the look through the captured data to see if the reg key you need is there.

Well managed to find the reg setting that sets the filter..phew...but what's best way to implement it. It's not a simple 1 or 0 for the setting but a whole series of digits.
