Setting preferences with script

[jhwoolfie]

I want to distribute adobe reader on a terminal server and restrict the users from changing the configuration.  I need to uncheck the "open cross-documents links in same window".  I'm hoping to do this with Javascript. 

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks,

Jeff

I do not think that this can be done using Javascript. If using Windows you might be able to create an installer that sets the required registry items. I have moved your post to where I think you can get help with your question.

Thanks Michael but I don't know how to use an installer for this, nor do I know what registry setting would need to be changed.  I am using Windows Server 2008 SP2

Since this will be access through Terminal Server (RDP), it will only be installed once on the server and accessed by multiple users.  I thought that once I changed the setting, it would be effective for all new users but that doesn't seem to be the case.  I've tried using a shared profile but that doesn't do it, either.

Anyone have any other ideas?

The reg setting is here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/PrefRef/Windows/Originals.html?zoom_highlight=same...

How do you set other reg prefs and have them apply to all users?

hth,

Thanks Ben.  That was just what I needed.  I wa able to write a batch file that imported the key the first time the user logs in.

The other settings were not user specific (such as preventing updating), so I am able to configure them once for the computer.

Thanks again.
