I have an intranet site that all of my users are fine with except two. When
they access a ppt from the website it funs them from the cached version
stored in temp. internet files. All other machines get the ppt straight
from the site (the way I want it). They continue to use http:// where the
failing machines change to file://.

Any ideas as to how to stop this?

Thanks,
Paul
 
First make sure this is set.
In the IE-Options->security, allow "META REFRESH".

There seems to be a similar problems with .pdf files?
Cannot Open a .pdf File with the File:// Protocol If the Address Contains a
"#" Character
For example, the problem may occur with Web addresses that have the
following format:
file:// servername/ sharename/ filename.pdf#location
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=322918

Thanks for the info but that didn't do it. I noticed that article too. Oddly
enough, my machine that works did have it enabled and then machine that
failed did not...

Anything else you might be aware of would be great (considerring you're the
onlyone bold enough to even try and answer).

Thanks Again,

Paul
 
All I can add,

Verify the following entries are correct in the Registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPre
fix]
@="http://"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"
 
All of the registry keys are set correct.

Thanks for your effort Henri, I really appreciate it.

Paul

Henri,

I have two clients, lets call them A & B. They both are running XP sp1 and
are completely patched to today. They are both using IE 6 (6.0.2800).
Security and Privacy have been set to default for testing purposes. They
are differnet hardware however.

When I go to any website that allows you to open a multi-paged document
(like pdf's, xls's or ppt's) machine A is able to open the document, drill
down muiltiple pages then, with one click on the back button, move all of
the way back to the file selection section page. Machine B will open the
doc fine, drill down ok too, but when you hit that back button it moves back
only one page in the doc instead of going all the way back to the file
selection page.

I've noticed that machine A has a url that begins with http://, and remains
that way the whole time, while machine B (the failing machine) changes from
http:// to file:// after the first page of the doc.

Now here's the kicker I have hundreds of machines like A and two like B.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Paul
