Change UI for all Users on TerminalServer

Post by HannesRathje »

Hello,

we use the PDF-XChange Editor (V7.0.232.0) on terminal servers. Is it possible to change the standard-ui for all users to the "old one" at once (Registry?)?
The new Ribbon UI is very cool, but it is better for us to use the old one and let our colleagues decide by themselves =)

kindest regards
Hannes

Hi HannesRathje

we do not have an item in the Group Policy Administrative Template yet, but I like the idea and will see about adding one at some point in the future.

For now you can push the following key:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Tracker Software\PDFXEditor\3.0\Settings\CmdExtraOpts]
"b.RibbonUI"=dword:00000000
Note that this is in HKCU so on your Terminal Server yo are likely going to want to push that as the appropriate user to ensure it makes it's way into their respective hives.

I hope that helps.
Best regards

Hi Paul,

I had to create the "CmdExtraOps", but it works for me. Thank you!
