I ran into a strange issue today where Word and Excel would not open files on a user's desktop. Accessing them through regular share paths (\\server\share) would work, but DFS paths would not (\\company.com\share). The fix was adding the domain to the IE intranet sites. Create a new GPO Enable User Configuration/Policies/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Internet Explorer/Internet Control Panel/Security Page/ Site to Zone Assignment List On the table enter Value name: \\company.com\* Value: 1
