Re: Some dumb questions

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

1) Odd. I have done this before and it works fine. One thing to do to
make sure you have the correct group is to create a WSS site and allow
anonymous access to it. Then go check to the users listing and you will see
what group is being used.

2) Define normal ;) It can be done that way and makes sense to me in most
cases but it really needs to be decided on a case by case basis.

3) On the "Sites" Page. You can manage sites. From there you should be able
to add the new fields.

4) Again, that is pretty much up to you. Areas and sub-areas can be used
to reflect the current organizational structure, as can sites and sub-sites.
Most of the time they are used as a starting point for the department, kind
of like a home page.
