trouble finding GPO causing Office 2003 restriction
Matt Vogt - MIS Helpdesk 13.07.2007 22:46:00
Hello all. I've got a GPO that's been around since before me that locks some
semi-public computers down pretty good. The problem I have is that all
programs (firefox, notepad, adobe acrobat, etc.) seem to be able to the
desktop except Office programs (Word, Excel, PP, etc.). Whenever I try, I get
the error "The operation was canceled due to restrictions....blah blah blah".

I get this whenever I try any of the following operations:

- opening document
- saving NEW document (I can directly open a document from the desktop and
save changes)
- changing file 'save as' type
- clicking on the drop down location menu
- clicking on any of the left menu location icons
- probably other things I haven't tried

The GPO, as you can imagine, has TONS of settings. The only extra ADM is for
IE7. I've spent hours poring over the GPO and haven't made any headway. I
would love any ideas as to where to look. I can give the RSOP, but it's huge.

Thank you in advance.
