Hi guys, I am banging my head against a wall for the 4th day now. I got a situation in which i have to make sure that every word, excel and PowerPoint get a customized quick access toolbar(QAT) during deployment. Since we discovered that when that setting is applied via GPO it takes our laptops additional time to logon (our system admin tells us 30-45sec on top every other policy, 2min overall which is too much). I searched all sites that I can think of and did not find an answer. I tried to solve in in this way: copy the 3 customized files named: Word.qat, Excel.qat, PowerPoint.qat via batch script to the Default user path (C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office), I choose the Default user so that not only the owner of the laptop can have the customized word,excel, PowerPoint but also every user in the company. Script goes like this: @echo off md C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office copy "%~dp0Word.qat" C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office copy "%~dp0Excel.qat" C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office copy "%~dp0PowerPoint.qat" C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office The problem is that Default user does not exist during deployment process (at least i think so when looking with F8 cmd during deployment), I personally think he is created at the first login process. I Tried with office customization tool but I did not succeed. Please help, and happy holidays to everyone! Thank you,

Hi, how do I set up so any one login as network user will have the metro and desktop icons ready the way I want on the Windows 8 machine? Thanks
