How to define system-wide document class?

When creating a new document class (as written in the FAQ) TextPad actually creates a document class for the current user in NT platforms. When we switch to another user session, we have to create the same document class again.

Is there a way to create system-wide document class so that no matter which user logs in afterwards, he could have the same classes already defined for him?

Still no answer?

Not even some fiddling in some .ini file or the registry?

After you created the document class, export the appropriate registry key, i.e.

Code: Select all

regedit /E mydoc_class.reg HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\Helios\Textpad\etc\etc

(I'm not sure about the registry path, and I can't check because I'm on Linux right now, sorry.)

The other user simply imports the file you created.

Well, actually, I knew that. But that only adds a document class to HKEY_CURRENT_USER. If there're a lot of users, or if there're a lot of specific document classes, this is still quite annoying.

I've tried to put it in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\.DEFAULT\....
but that doesn't help.

Don't all users have some sort of startup script? You could import registry settings there.
