Answer 1

If Sharepoint Shared Workspace is enabled in MS Word this may prompt users with a Windows login if users do not have permissions to access or create a Shared Workspace. Do the followoing to turn this off:

1. Open MS Word
2. Go to Tools/Options
3. Click General Tab
4. Click Service Options
5. Click Shared Workspace
6. Uncheck box that says “The document is part of a Workspace or SharePoint Site.”
7. Click OK
8. Click OK
9. Try to hit a MS Word document from the SharePoint site.

If this resolves issue repeat steps with every MS Office program to eliminate the prompt. (Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, ect)
