changing users from administrators to power users

[terrahawk]

Hi,

I was thinking of changing users over from Administrators to Power Users. I tried this on a couple desktops though and then the users could not open Outlook and got errors opening other MS apps like Word (this is W2K & Office XP with the latest service packs).

I added the domain users to the Power Users group and then removed them from the Administrators group.

Did I miss a step? I logged on/off, do I need to reboot instead.

Thanks,
Peter

Verify that if they only exist in the Power Users group, that that group has access in the security tab of those programs...

Can you give me more details on how to check that Matt? In Word->Tools->Options, then the Security Tab?

You can explore into C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office\WinWord.exe, edit the security tab on that, and that will affect only Word. You can affect the whole Office suite thru the Office directory security tab...
