Administrator Wants to Remove Integrations Permanently

Problem: The administrator wants to permanently turn off one or more application integrations so the GroupWise Windows client no longer performs document management functions.
Action: Have users rerun GroupWise client Setup and deselect integrated applications so they are no longer integrated when the client software is updated. Then the macro must be removed from the startup directories for Microsoft Word or Excel as described below.
Action: The administrator can edit the gwappint.inf file, located in the \windows\system directory, to remove the integration information.

  • Integrations=2: If an application has the setting Integrations=2 for an ODMA-compliant application, you can change to Integrations=0 for no integration.

  • Integrations=1: If an application has the setting Integrations=1, indicating it is integrated using a startup macro, you must change to Integrations=0 for no integration and delete the startup macro. For example, to remove integration for Word, you need to delete the gwnormxx.dot macro from the Word startup directory. For Excel, you need to delete the gwxl95.xla macro from the xlstart directory and reset the Excel toolbars.
