I have a NT 4.0 user that has created shortcuts to Excel files that resides on the network to his desktop. When he access the file vie the shortcut Excel minimizes within 10 sec. User had Office 2000 and NT 4.0 sp5. Power users don't have this problem.

1. Right-Click on the shortcut and choose Properties.
2. Click the Shortcut Sheet Tab.
3. In the Run Dropdown Box, Instead of having it "Minimized," select Normal Window or Maximized.

That should do it. Good Luck and let me know if that fixed it!

I tried the above steps, but this did not correct the problem. The user has given up trying to figure out why this happens and so have I. Sorry I didn't response sooner, but thanks for your help.
