Hi all,

I just wanted to let you know I figured it out...

DCOMCNFG did the trick. There's a "default " tab, which has "COM Internet
Services enabled" or something like that, which default is turned off. I had
to turn that on. Now Word starts a document on the desktop and is visible!
It looks like this feature is on W2K machines and not on NT 4 machines.

Anyway, thanks very much for all the help!!!

Greetings,

Serge
