Is there any way by which i can make sure that the user uses the initial settings of the lync client,i.e, the tools->options should not be available to the user so that he/she cannot change any thing in lync and use the default setting.The use case for which i want this is that i want all the conversations to be un-tabbed. I make the registry key "IsTabbedConversationWindowEnabled_1" 0 for this but it is overridden if the user goes through tools->options in lync ui and enables tabbed conversation. I also set only read permission for this key but the conversations are still tabbed. So how can i achieve this? If the question is not clear do tell, i will be happy to enhance it and provide more details
Thanks
You could export that registry key to a .reg file, and then simply "run" that .reg file each time you want to fix it.
I have a similar bug (can't drag files into VLCPlayer sometimes) that I have to fix via the same process - a .reg file that I just run.
I'd do this myself, but your question doesn't say where in the registry to add the key you mention. I'd love to automate a fix to this :)
