Microsoft Office for Windows, versions 4.0, 4.2, 4.3
SUMMARY
There is no method to keep users from customizing Microsoft Office
Manager (MOM).
WORKAROUND
If you need to prevent users from making permanent changes to the
configuration of the MOM toolbar, do the following in Microsoft
Windows or Microsoft Windows for Workgroups, versions 3.1 and 3.11:
- Set the MOM toolbar in the proper configuration (buttons showing or
not showing, menu items, and so on).
- Close the MOM application by selecting the Microsoft Office button,
usually located at the right-hand side of the MOM toolbar. Choose
Exit from the menu that appears.
- Start File Manager.
- In File Manager, switch to the Windows directory. Locate and select
the MSOFFICE.INI file.
- From the File menu, choose Properties.
- Select (place an "x" in) the Read Only check box.
- Choose OK to accept the change.
As long as the MSOFFICE.INI file is read-only, changes made in MOM
will be retained only while the MOM application remains running. If
you close and restart MOM, the changes will be lost.
Note that there is no method to prevent changes being made to MOM:
you can prevent permanent changes only.
