I have to push down a default font configuration for Outlook 2010. I have the registry key, have exported it out to a .reg file and can import the registry data just fine. What I want to do is to push it down through a group policy. My problem is that I can't figure out how to enter that data into the group policy.
Here is what I have.
I make changes to Outlook 2010 font information and close Outlook.
I open the following key and export that data to a file name called Outlook2010DefaultFont
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\MailSettings
Here is the contents of that file...

Now, I open my group policy editor
User Configuration/Preferences/Windows Settings/Registry
I right click and create a registry collection item and then I rename it to Outlook2010DefaultFont
On the right pane, I right click and create a new registry item
Action: Replace
Hive: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Key: Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\mailsettings
Value name: ComposeFontComplex
And this is where I can't get any further.
How do I put in this HEX code into Value data ?
