disable autorecovery in Word and Excel via group Policy fails

[Guest MicroHennes]

hello everybody,

I have to disable the autorecovery - and unsaved functions in the office 2010 suite on winXPsp3.

In the group policy console i set the function to "disabled" , so on the client side in the registry the values for:

software\policies\microsoft\office\14.0\excel\options\KeepUnsavedChanges =0

software\policies\microsoft\office\14.0\excel\options\AutoRecoverEnabled =0

software\policies\microsoft\office\14.0\word\options\KeepUnsavedChanges =0

software\policies\microsoft\office\14.0\word\options\AutoRecoverEnabled =0

appear. This works fine on Powerpoint, but in Excel and Word users still have the chance to enable autorecovery from the "file" menu on the client. Time settings are greyed out, but by activating autorecovery, settings are configurable again.

Any idea where else i could configure "autorecovery" and "KeepUnsavedChanges" to be unavailable for the customer ?

thank you in advance,

Hennes
