The OPS File Viewer (OPSView.exe) enables you to view changes that an Office profile settings file (OPS file) makes to a user's computer. This viewer also provides a list of all possible changes that the Office Profile Wizard can make to a user's computer through an OPS file.

To use the OPS File Viewer, you must supply the path and file name of an OPS file you created with the Office Profile Wizard. The viewer is not a separate application — instead, it reads the OPS file and creates a plain-text file, which is displayed by the Notepad text editor.

Download and install the OPS File Viewer

The OPS File Viewer is automatically installed on your computer when you install the Office Resource Kit toolset.

Toolbox   The Office 2003 Editions Resource Kit toolset (ork.exe) is available as a download. You can find this downloadable file on the Office 2003 Resource Kit Downloads page.

To locate the tool, click the Start button, point to Programs, point to Microsoft Office, point to Microsoft Office Tools, point to Microsoft Office Resource Kit, and then click OPS File Viewer.

When the OPSView dialog box is displayed, search for the OPS file you want to view. When you have selected the file, click Open to display the text file created by the OPS File Viewer.
