Login Prompt When Opening documents in SharePoint  

Categories: Security

This is something that will happen to a lot of users when using MOSS and IE7.  You can search for the issue and find many possible causes and resolutions.  Typically, the problem can be resolved by adding the site to your Local Intranet sites in IE's options.  Below are the directions to do so.

 
1. In Internet Explorer, click on Tools > Internet Options

After doing the above, it doesn't even ask for initial login to the site which makes it end users angry because if someone else come to use their computer when they are away and other can login to the site with the previous user login.

Is there another way that it will ask for the initial login to the site or just open docs in the IE instead of MS
