    Where can we change the default location for 'AutoRecover File Location' of: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Word in GPO?

    Doesn't seem to be the one, I enabled that GPO setting and set it to H:\Word, run a gpupdate and launched Word. Within the Word Options the location is still as above.

    Running a GP Results confirms the GPO is set for that users logon.

    Did you accidently pick the adm file for Word 2007? Verify that the Value AUTOSAVE-PATH is under the right key HKCU\software\policies\microsoft\office\14.0\word\options

    Nope, only imported the Office 2010 adm file and that registry path doesn't exist.

    Under Options its completely empty.

    But you told us, gpresult showed that the policy was applied correctly. One of the statements must be wrong.

    Run gpresult /z and look for the registry path.

    Does H:\Word exist. Word will ignore the GPO if it doesn't.

    Something doesn't quite add up - can we go back a few steps.
     
    The _Word_ 2010, not the Office 2010, ADM file should contain a policy ...
     
        Microsoft Word 2010 > Word Options > Advanced > File Locations > AutoRecover Files
     
    and this should set a registry entry at
     
        HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Word\Options\AUTOSAVE-PATH
     
    Can you verify what of the above squares with what you have?
     
    Enjoy,
    Tony

    In addition to the office14 there is a word14 Template. Within that custom template under Microsoft Word 2010\Word Options\Advanced\File Locations, there is an option to specify the AutoRecover Files location. In our case it is \\domain\dfsshare\Mydocs\%USERNAME%\Documents\AutoRecover. Be aware that .adm goes in to C:\Windows\INF, ADMX go in to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions, and ADML go in to C:\Windows\PolicyDefinitions\en-US.

    Have you resolved this yet? And, do you ever get an error 'The Setting could not be created' ?
