I have NT4.0 workstation and have installed Office 2k as the Local Administrator. When I login in as a domain user and try to open an Office program, the system keeps asking me for the installation disks. Then when I press cancel a couple of times it opens up the Office Program, but treats it as a fresh install each time, so none of my history is there or customised tool bars etc. Can you help me please???s-)

I have the same problem, but it's not a problem sense 1) The machines that we use are fast enough so you don't really have to wait to long. 2) Create a shared folder on a server or a computer that is on all the time. Do a Administrator install to this location. Then install office from your network when that is done. start office, and office will remeber that location and grab any files that it needs.
I'm not sure of this but its possible it could be a rights issue. If the Office shortcuts are in \profiles\all users I'd try this.
Using Windows NT Explorer and logged in as admin find the \profiles\all users subdirectory.
Right click for properties.
Click the Security tab.
Click the Permissions button.
Check the unchecked box Replace Permissions on Subdirectories.
Change nothing else and click OK.
