c. Restart the web client Windows service for the changes to

take effect.
3. If the Office client requests credentials for each operation, this
might relate to domain policy and client settings. See the Microsoft
article, Prompt for Credentials When Accessing FQDN Sites
From a Windows Vista or Windows 7 Computer
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943280), if you experience one
of the following problems:

Windows 7 prompts for authentication when accessing

documents
You are prompted to enter your credentials when you access
an FQDN site from a computer that is running Windows Vista
or Windows 7 and has no proxy configured

Note:If you are not being prompted for your credentials, try clicking the
small down arrow next to the Open button (instead of clicking the
Open button itself). The client will then prompt you for your
credentials and you can start working with documents from Alfresco
sites.
