This is what i ended up doing.... Add Custom Places to the Office Dialog Box (All Versions) Category: Enhancements > Software > Microsoft Office This tweak is used to add custom places to the Office 2000 and Office XP Open and Save As dialog boxes. Open your registry and find the key below. For Office XP replace "9.0" with "10.0" in the registry key, as Office XP is internally known as Office 10. For each custom place create a new sub-key called "PlaceX" where X is a unique number starting at 1 (i.e. Place1, Place2 ...). Open the new sub-key and create two new string values called "Name" and "Path" and set them to equal the display name and folder path respectively. Restart Office for the change to take effect. (Default) REG_SZ (value not set) Name REG_SZ "My Music Folder" Path REG_SZ "c:\music" HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\Open ... Settings Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Common\ Open Find\Places\UserDefinedPlaces] Value Name: Name, Path Data Type: REG_SZ (String Value) WinGuides.comRegistry GuideScripting GuideSecurity GuideSupport Forums Copyright © 2001 WinGuides.com.

I wouldn't have a problem using that for access to the "secure area".. but i was hoping there was a similar way to set it up that authenticates you on the domain... in the same manner that outlook web access login.asp page accesses the SAM to authenticate users from anywhere in the world. i am leaning towards the NTFS permisions just because it is alot easier.. i was yearning for the gui of the login page though.

I am trying to setup Secure Login page on my IIS 3.0 NT 4.0 Server. (Similar to the initial login page on Outlook Web Access) in the fact that it uses the NT Domain Account data base for access. What would you suggest? ASP Login? I don't want to use "NTFS Partition Permissions" for authentication. If anyone could steer me in any type of direction... i'd be very appreciative.

Is there any way to automate the default save location of office 2000 to a "home directory" for every user that logs on to an NT Machine? like exporting a registry key and implementing it into the script with a default location of \\server\%username% so whenever a user logs on to ANY machine they have access to their data via the "dumb user" way of just clicking "OPEN" where is this key located at? anyone?

I am trying to add a registry entry to our logon script .bat file. what i am tryign to figure out is how to make it to where you don't have to click "YES" to add the entry to the registry i tried /y or -y default_home.reg /y ? if anyone could help.. it would be great... thanx!
