Hi
We’ve started rolling out Notes 801 standard config to a bunch of users using smart upgrade, and this works quite good, however there’s a couple of settings I always have to run around and set manually in the notes clients. I have not been able to find these settings in any of the policy documents. Here’s the settings:
-
Instant spell check (we want to turn off)
-
Recent contacts (we don’t want addresses added to recent contacts)
-
Display images (we want to show remote images without further permission)
-
Toolbars (we want to display a given set of toolbars as default)
Can anyone please give me feedback if these things can or cannot be controlled through policies?

Subject: While you’re waiting for support, add them as custom settings
These settings would all be useful, and while you’re waiting for them to appear as options in the desktop policy settings, you can make your own customizations to the Policy settings\Desktop Settings form to push them down.
For example, the Recent Contacts feature can be turned off with the Notes.ini setting DisableDPABProcessing=1 (see http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21267115 )
You could set this for new installs through an Installshield Transform, or push this down to existing clients by adding a $PrefDisableDPABProcessing field to the Policy settings\Desktop Settings form (or to $ClientPreferenceSubform).
There’s more info on custom policy settings in the Technote “Using a Desktop Policy to set notes.ini and Location parameters” http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21196837
Hope that helps,
