Hi Ruth
Tried your suggestion to no avail. Every time a different user opens any
of the Office programs, the Windows Installer starts. One can cancel it
or not. In both cases, the application opens (word or whatever) and
the asks the user if they are "so and so" and suggests a letter to be
recognized by - usually the first letter of the uses name.
Somebody said group policy on the network will do the trick, but I
haven't any idea how to set up a group policy for that purpose.

>> number of pupils at the school. Rarely will pupils use the same computer
>> again. Each pupil has their own username and home file on the network.
>> This enables them to have access to their files from any computer in the
>> school. Now for the problem.
>> Whenever any pupil tries to access any of the office programs, the
>> computer starts off on a semi-installation process which usually ends
>> with asking the user (pupil) if their name is so and so. Only after
>> confirmation will they enter the chosen application. Occasionally they
>> are even asked for the Office disk! All in all a time wasting and
>> unnecessary process. I realize that this is because each user enters
>> Windows XP as a different user, but is there any way of configuring
>> Office XP not to do this. All the other programs I have don't do this.
>> All the programs including Office XP are installed locally.
