Office 2000 add ins

B

B. Meincke

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,

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?

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.

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?

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.
