    NOTE: The list should appear similar to the following:

       Name        Data
       (Default)   {value not set}
       Friendly1   "Service Call Management"
       Friendly2   "Contact Management"
       Template1   "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Service Call Management.mdz"
       Template2   "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Contact Management.mdz"
    					

13. Quit Registry Editor.
14. Restart the computer.

Start Registry Editor and go to the following registry subkey: In the Data column in the registry, the Friendlynumber value is the name of the template that was created. In addition, the associated Templatenumber value is the path to that template. For example:

If Friendly2 contains a Data value of Contact Management, Template2 will contain a Data value that is the path to the Contact Management template.

For example:

   Name        Data
   (Default)   {value not set}
   Friendly2   "Contact Management"
   Template2   "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\Contact Management.mdz"
