Office 2000 add ins B. Meincke 28.09.2006 02:07:01 I have a situation where Office 2000 Professional is installed on a number of domain clients using a full (Run all from my computer) installation. The problem is that most of our users are students with limited rights to the local machine. As add ins such as Organizational Chart, etc. require files be written to the system folder, these features fail to run for our students. Is there any solution to our problem? Is there a way to set up permissions so that these features are functional for students? Thanks in advance for any advice, -- BJM ACE Assistant Gary Allan High School

Re: Office 2000 add ins "NewScience" <newscience83[ at ]usadatanet.net> 28.09.2006 02:30:59 Is this an Office 2000 Organizational Chart add-in or a third-party add-in installed for Office 2000. Office 2000 Pro (which I have) does not seem to come with an organizational chart add-in (unless I'm looking in the wrong place). If this is a third-party Add-in, then there should be a option to configure. NO application should be writing to the C:\Windows\system32 folder. Do you know what it is trying to write or do you have an error message? "B. Meincke" <garyallan[ at ]highschool.ca> wrote in message news:59BA087B-4727-44A4-9370-AD2021AA126B[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: Office 2000 add ins B. Meincke 29.09.2006 01:37:02 Yes, this is MS Organizational Chart. I have done a little research into this matter and found elsewhere on the MS site that Office add ins write a pair of files to the Windows folder (not system 32 subfolder). The files are: MSOPREFS.232 MSOCLIP.232 Apparently, they are preference files and want to write for each user. And there is the problem, if the user is limitted as our students, of course are. -- BJM ACE Assistant Gary Allan High School "NewScience" wrote: [Quoted Text] > Is this an Office 2000 Organizational Chart add-in or a third-party add-in > installed for Office 2000. > Office 2000 Pro (which I have) does not seem to come with an organizational > chart add-in (unless I'm looking in the wrong place). > > If this is a third-party Add-in, then there should be a option to configure. > NO application should be writing to the C:\Windows\system32 folder. > > Do you know what it is trying to write or do you have an error message? > > "B.

Re: Office 2000 add ins "NewScience" <newscience83[ at ]usadatanet.net> 29.09.2006 03:25:06 Have your read: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q238307/ and check your Font folder number of files? Have your tried renaming the MSOPREFS.232 and MSOCLIP.232 files, then run MS Org Chart? "B.

Re: Office 2000 add ins - Solution "NewScience" <newscience83[ at ]usadatanet.net> 29.09.2006 13:35:04 Took me quite a while to solve this, but it is based on the ACL list for each of the files: 1. Right click on each file, Properties, Security 2. If Everyone does not exist as a user, add it. Do not check anything else 3. Click on Advanced, click on Everyone, click on Edit 4. Make sure the following is checked: Both Read attribute options Both Create attribute options Both Write attribute options 5. Make sure the following is unchecked: Take Ownership Delete Change Permissions Full Control You must be logged in as an admistrator account. You can also store these files on a server, change the permissions, and then scopy them to each client machine. Hope this helps. "B.
