office message first thing first

Office first run message First things first

If you have standalone machines with users who have no administrator rights.
When the user clicks to first run on a Office application, they get the message “First things first”.
With the following options:
– Use recommended settings
– Install updates only
– Ask me later

If the user select some one and after “Accept” there will prompt a UAC message. So an administrator needed to set the settings.

But after a Task sequence, you will not get a message for users.

And you want to use HKLM registry keys and not HKCU keys.

So you can add the following regkeys:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings]
"Count"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings\Create]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings\Create\Software]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings\Create\Software\Microsoft]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General]
"ShownFirstRunOptIn"=dword:00000001
"ShownFileFmtPrompt"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Office\15.0\User Settings\MyCustomUserSettings\Create\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\FirstRun]
"BootedRTM"=dword:00000001

  3. Interesting blog post. Things i would like to contribute is that laptop or computer memory ought to be purchased but if your computer is unable to cope with what you do with it. One can put in two RAM boards having 1GB each, by way of example, but not one of 1GB and one having 2GB. One should make sure the car maker’s documentation for one’s PC to make certain what type of storage is necessary.
