windows 2000 permissions

Guest

eHi all,
I know there's been a few thread on user profiles in Windows 2000, but I
can't find a solution to my problem. I created a new account with
administrator privileges and copied the admin profile to the new account.
Everything seemed to work except when I tried to open any office application
a dialogue appeared prompting me to place the Windows 2000 office CD rom in
the drive. Why has this happened? How can I rectify this problem since I
don't have the CD rom? Is there a simple way to transfer the privilges to
the new account?

Thanks in advance for any help.

No I haven't. Is it difficult to do?

Did you set the correct permissions on the profile folder? If so try asking
them here.

Try setting the user 'Full Control' permissions on the directory;

\Documents and Settings\%username%
