I am running a win2k server with IIS 5.0. I have a folder
that has pdfs, xls, and .docs in it. My prolem: When
people click on the links of the .doc files it opens, but
once they close it bring up a user name, password, and
domain window.

Only anonymous authentication is setup on the Virtual
directory.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Jeremy,

Usually when you use Anonymous and get prompted for credentials, it means
the Anonymous account is trying to do something it does not have permission
to do. Try downloading and running FileMon from http://www.sysinternals.com
while reproducing the issue to find out where the Access Denied is.

Hope this helps!
