    - *IMPORTANT* More on .chm issue There has been a recent tread pertaining to .chm help files stored on a Windows SharePoint Server or SharePoint Portal Server and the contents will not display. A KB article was identified to have the solution. That solution works but has a flaw and it is known my MS. They will sending out an article shortly. We tried to implement the solution with no success. We then contacted a Performance Support Engineer with MS's Enterprise Platform Support. He said the fix was to create a registry key with the following values: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions] "MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000003 This opens the zones: local machine, local intranet, trusted sites and internet. MS (in writing) declared that this solution is NOT RECOMMENDED because it opens you to internet vulnerabilities. You can still store .chm files in WSS but to view you will have to OPEN and SAVE to a local drive. Basically, that is what the letter will say.

    - viewing shared docs but hiding other users in workgroup?? We're experiencing a problem with a sharepoint site that stores docs for customers related to various deals. These custs are bidding against each other and need to be anonymous to each other. But when a user opens a shared document using Office2003, they see the shared workspace task bar that reveals all the other interested parties. Any ideas for strategies for hiding this information? These are customer machines so they're not under our control. And I should add that this site uses the win2003 version of SP and not the full Portal.

    - Change Sharepoint URL to FQDN with Subsites I have a Windows Sharepoint Services server running. When I first set it up, I apparently configured it so that it was only accessible using the url: http://sps1 We have since created a subsite (http://sps1/subsite) I would like to be able to access both of these sites using the fully qualified domain name of the server, e.g.: http://sps1.domain.com and http://sps1.domain.com/subsite I tried just adding a host header to the virtual server in Internet Services manager, but this does not work. (I have since reverted that change, so I have now made no changes). Is there a specific sharepoint supported procedure for making it possible to access the sharepoint site and subsite via the FQDN instead of the hostname? Thanks.

    - Cotnent Editor Web Part - unwanted caching I am using the Content Link functionality of the Content Editor web part to pull in an HTML snippet from another server. It seems that the content is getting cached. The HTML snippet was updated, but the old content is still showing up in the Content Editor Web Part. When I click "Test Link", I see the new content, but the page shows the old. Is there any way to control (turn off) this caching behavior? I did make sure the page that includes the Web Part is being refreshed by adding some parameters onto the query string. Tag: First Site Load - 2mg Download of Files - SPS vs WSS Tag: 32521

    - Sharepoint Services and NLB Error Hi, I have Windows 2003 Server Enterprise Edition with SP1 configured in a NLB mode. SPS 2003 is running web and search components on these two servers. Each of the Server is running the web and search component. Sharepoint Services is runinng 6.02.6411 version. When I open a browser and access the virtual IP address , it gives a login Pop-up and after I put the correct credentials , it gives me a page not found error. If I continue to refresh the page for couple times, the sharepoint portal site loads of fine. The portal site is installed of the Default Web Site and I have tried the Default Website running on both the virtual IP and the ALL unassigned in IIS. But whenever I access the sharepoint portal site by accessing a particular node, it works fine. To make sure that NLB is working fine, I created a generic site with a html page and its works fine. The problem lies in accessing through the Virtual IP address. Has anyone come across such a problem ? Tag: First Site Load - 2mg Download of Files - SPS vs WSS Tag: 32486

    - Version Restore No File with URL Hello! I have a document library with version tracking enabled. There is a spreadsheet within this document library that needs to have a previous version restored. When Restore is selected from the dropdown menu for the file in the Versions listing, the following error appears: There is no file with URL '<Name of DL>/<Name of File>' in this Web. But, but...huh? I created a test document library with version tracking turned on and put a brand new spreadsheet with a small amount of data in it. I changed the spreadsheet and then restored the prior version without any problems. I also created a document library in which I uploaded the file mentioned in the error above. The same error occurred on the new library when trying to restore a prior version. It seems to be tied to the file, but I am not totally convinced of that.

    - A default theme applied (using front page) to sharepoint site does not change the looks of default links on quick launch()eg., documents, pictures, lists etc). Hi Group I applied a default theme to the share point site using front page 2003 (theme name : 'In Motion'). The default links on the sharepoint site such as documents, pictures, lists remain unchanged ... but the links present on navigation tool bar acquire the theme site with full fidelity (the colour of links changes when we hover mouse over them, also they are broader and of completely different look). As a result, I have got two kinds of links present on the left hand veticle side of same home page that seems to be very ugly. Is there a way to apply theme to the quick launch tool bar items as well? Also, can we alter the theme applied to sie? eg, change the size, font etc. of links? Any input will be highly appriciated.

    - Mike Walsh an MVP? I have applauded numerous MVPs for their excellent responses and ways of handling questions...but Mr. Walsh - if there was a criteria in MVP status requirements about being tactful - you would defintely not make my cut or MS. Microsoft, although Mike Walsh has been helpful many times, there have been way too many times he has rubbed people wrong by the demeanor of his answers - please consider his MVP status as he is clearly lacking tactfulness.

    - Hyperlink in WOrd that overrides "next nearest date" in wss worksp hello: In my word doc, I want to link to a list, per specific meeting, on a workspace. By pasting in the url grabbed from the meeting-specific view of that list, I am navigated to the "next nearest" meeting on the workspace. I know to then hit the link for the correct meeting, but my readers will not, and will think the link is wrong. Can the link be customized?

Hello, WSS has a large 2mg download the first time that you open the
site. This causes the site to open extremely slowly (30 to 45 seconds).
Does Portal Server have the same download when you first open the
site?

Also, can anyone tell me what files are being downloaded on the first
load of the site?

Thanks!

1. Yes Portal Server has the same download

2. This is caused by the download of activex parts that are required for
some WSS functionality. You can avoid it by using a browser that doesn't
support activex (such as Firefox) but then you miss out on the
functionality.

Depending on you site this may be quite OK for *users* - admins tend to need
IE.
