Are thee any security experts out there that can assist
please? I have a native Win 2K network with Win 2K Pro on
the desktops. All workstations have been installed with
Office 2000 and all users are members of the Domain Users
group only.

Problem is when they come to open word or excel for
example they are asked to enter their name for office
workgroup every time they open the app. Also when they get
past that they are given an error message about Office
assistant not starting properly and would they like to try
reinstalling it. I am sure this has something to do with
user rights or group policy and its driving me mad trying
to overcome it.

Any input would be gratefully received.
