MS Office Default Directory

I'm hoping someone out there has run into a problem with MS Office 2000/XP opening multiple connections to a default directory set to a network share. In my current enviroment the maximum number of connections to a users home share is 1. This is set this way for audit purposes. The non-security departments are winning the argument to set the number to maximum. This would be fine if it were no setting a dangerous course. (HIPAA)

Any Help out there on this one?

Thanks

A bit more infor that would help is the actual problem..... We're on a NT4 domain controller and Windows wants to open more than 1 connection to this network defaul directory.

Again

Any help?
