Startup Folder Andy Smith 12/16/2008 3:27:01 PM Hiya, We have moved the Startup folder to a network share, so that we can drop templates into the folder for access by everyone, instead of going to each machine one by one. However, the first person to load Word (which opens with no delay) is 'locking' all the templates, making Word open very slowly for everyone else (about 15-20 seconds). How can I prevent users from 'locking' the templates. Thanks

RE: Startup Folder Andy Smith 12/17/2008 10:44:02 AM Yes that is what I have done, but when the first person opens Word it locks the files, which for some reason causes Word to open very slowly for everyone else. I have solved it any way, by removing Write Attributes and Write Exetended Attributes permission for all users.
