MS Office Forum / Outlook / Programming VBA / March 2007Set Default Signature
Hi, I'm currently using a VB Script, as a logon script, to create a custom signature, pulling info from AD, for our users. I would not like to set the signature as the default to be used in outlook, however I can't find a way to do it. I've set my signature then searched through the registry, but there doesn't seen to be any entry containing the name, I've also looked in the Outlk11.adm template, and can't see anywhere, the only signature control in the policy seems to be disable signature for new, forward & reply. Can anyone suggest a way to set my signature to default? Many thanks Ben Ah, no worries, solved it myself, changed the outlook adm template so the checkbox for enable/disable signature was actually an EDITTEXT, and changed the name from "Disable signature" to "Default signature", now I can enter the name of the signature to use! I think it's easier to do it this way than via a vbscript! Ben > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Ben That's the method I recommend, except that I suggest doing it in a separate .adm file. If you do it your way, you'll need to remember the modification so you can do it again when the next service pack comes out with a new outlk11.adm file.

I am able to locate this in OUTLK11.adm contained in the ORKSP2AT.EXE. Are you able to post the registry key location that the Default Signature setting resides.

That's different from what you want to do. The relevant registry values are the NewSignature and ReplySignature string values in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\MailSettings key or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\MailSettings, if you want to apply the setting as a user preference.
