We can add custom templates categories which could contain our custom templates.
e.g.

this is not what i am looking for. they are talking about local key's.
i want to do it with group polecy's. and i got only the .dotm files.

Hi Rick,
Please read the article carefully, thanks.
It do will distribute this to all the users in a domain environment. For the "local keys" you mentioned, although it is teached to use the OCT to distribute, but I think it also can be delivered by the group policy?
Sincerely,Max Meng

Change what? Delete the registry key and add a new one?

An easier way is to create a .reg file and deploy it with a logon script.
Although you can make it harder, see below if needed.
