Hi!

Here are the answers to Your questions:

1. The problem does not occur if the user doesnīt log on in a Terminal
session.
2. The problem doesnīt occur if the user open document from common file
share.
3. The problem doesnīt occur although we put a word document in a file share
with blanks in the folder paths.

Actually we use GPOs that apply at computer and user level. If we disable
the computer policy, clear the locally cached user profile and log on, the
problem doesnīt occur anymore. This policy contains modified settings from a
GPO-template downloaded from Microsoft, Highly Managed Computer...
something.

What kind of computer GPO-settings could cause this behaviour?

Marcus Torstensson
