This article was previously published under Q281928 SUMMARY This article describes the switches that are available for
the Office Profile Wizard (Proflwiz.exe) when it is run from a command line.
MORE INFORMATION The Office Profile Wizard is installed with the Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit (ORK). The Office Profile Wizard is an administrative tool that
allows you to capture user settings to a Profile Settings file (OPS). This
wizard can be used to restore a custom configuration of Office XP, or to
customize the installation of Microsoft Office XP on other computers.
The Office Profile Wizard consists of the following files:
Custom10.hlp
Opw10adm.ini
Proflwiz.exe
Reseto10.ini
These files are copied to the Program Files\ORKTools\ORK10\Tools
folder. The following list describes the available switches that you
can use when you start Proflwiz.exe from the command line: /? Displays the command-line syntax for Proflwiz.exe
/a Administrator mode (has the same effect as starting the Office
Profile Wizard). This mode uses the Opw10adm.ini file by default. This is the
default setting if neither /a (Administrator) nor /u (User) are used, or if Proflwiz.exe is double-clicked.
/u User mode (has the same effect as starting the Save My Settings
Wizard). This mode uses the Opw10usr.ini file by default, but only if /a (Administrator) is not used.
Note The OPW10USR.INI and RESETO10.OPS files are available with Office
XP and are not included with the Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit.
/s OPS file Saves user configuration settings from the current
computer to the specified OPS file. The wizard displays progress indicators and
error messages while it runs.
/r OPS file Restores the application settings from the specified
OPS file to the computer. The wizard displays progress indicators and error
messages while it runs.
/q Quiet (no user input) mode. Runs the wizard without progress
indicators or error messages. This switch can be used with either the /s (Save) or /r (Restore) switches, but not with /p (Progress) or /e (Error) switches.
/e Displays error messages. Displays only error messages and not
progress indicators while the wizard runs. This switch can be used with either
the /s (Save) or /r (Restore) switches, but not with the /q (Quiet) switch.
/p Displays progress indicators. Displays only progress indicators
and not error messages while the wizard runs. This switch can be used with
either the /s (Save) or /r (Restore) switches, but not with the /q (Quiet) switch.
/f Display Finish message only. Displays the finish message at the end of the
restore or save process. This switch can be used with either the /s (Save) or /r (Restore) switches, but not with the /q (Quiet) switch.
Note/e (Error), /p (Progress), and /f (Finish) are additive. Including /e and /f in the command line displays error messages and finish messages
only.
/i INI file Specifies the .ini file to use. Instructs
PROFLWIZ.EXE to use the specified .ini file instead of the default .ini
file.
/d Sets all user configuration settings to their default state. This
is equivalent to selecting Reset to defaults before restoring
settings in the Save or Restore Settings dialog box
of the Office Profile Wizard.
/all Collects or restores user configuration settings for all Office
programs. This includes Microsoft Office Shared Settings.
/word Proflwiz.exe collects or restores settings for Microsoft
Word.
/xl Proflwiz.exe collects or restores settings for Microsoft
Excel.
/ppt Proflwiz.exe collects or restores settings for Microsoft
PowerPoint.
/ol Proflwiz.exe collects or restores settings for Microsoft
Outlook.
/pub Proflwiz.exe collects or restores settings for Microsoft
Publisher.
/fp Proflwiz.exe collects or restores settings for Microsoft
FrontPage.
/access Proflwiz.exe collects or restores settings for Microsoft
Access.
/common Proflwiz.exe collects or restores settings for Microsoft Office
shared settings.
The following list contains
command-line samples of Proflwiz.exe using various switches: PROFLWIZ.EXE /a /i custom.ini Starts the wizard in Administrative mode and loads the customized Custom.ini file.
PROFLWIZ.EXE /a /i custom.ini /s custom.ops Starts the wizard in Administrative mode,
loads the customized Custom.ini file,
and then saves the configuration from the current computer to an OPS file named Custom.ops.
PROFLWIZ.EXE /a /r custom.ops /word /xl Starts the wizard in Administrative mode, loads the customized Custom.ops file, and restores only the settings for Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
PROFLWIZ.EXE /a /r custom.ops /q Starts the wizard in Administrative mode, and restores the user configuration settings from the customized Custom.ops file, but without progress indicators, error messages, or finish messages.
If you do not specify either /a (Administrative) or /u (User) when using the /q (Quiet) switch, Profilwiz.exe runs in Administrative
mode. For more information about the Microsoft Office XP Resource Kit, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
