Sharepoint Wiki

If you have a program installed that is compatible with Windows SharePoint Services, an option to upload multiple files may appear when you click the arrow on the Upload menu. For example, if you have the 2007 Microsoft Office system installed, the Upload Multiple Documents option appears. If you do not see the Upload Multiple Documents option, do the following:

1. If the library is not already open, click its name on the Quick Launch.
   If the name of your library does not appear, click View All Site Content, and then click the name of your library.
2. On the Actions menu , click Open with Windows Explorer.
3. In the Windows Explorer window that appears, browse to find the files that you want to upload, and then select them.
4. Right-click one of the files, and then click Copy on the shortcut menu.
5. Click the Back button until you return to the library.
6. Right-click in a blank area in the folder window, and then click Paste on the shortcut menu.
7. Close Windows Explorer.
8. If you do not see your files in the library, refresh the browser.

2) How can I reduce the number of times SharePoint asks me to login?

All fixes require that your machine logs into the domain (i.e. you use your link blue password to login to your workstation, and the password updates automatically).

A note about security: These setting enables Internet Explorer to automatically pass your authentication token to the web servers listed. While this should not be an issue as your actual password is not shared, and it is only sent to the sites listed, you should be aware of this action. For this reason, whenever we list a series of web sites we list them explicitly by name. Alternatively, you could replace the list with '*.uky.edu' one time, but this will allow Internet Explorer to pass your authentication token to ANY web server on the uky.edu domain, and is not recommended.

You will need to RESTART WINDOWS after making these changes, you do not need to restart between the edits, but before all features of these changes are available, a restart to windows will be required.

Reducing Prompts do to multiple SharePoint Applications:

1. Open the Tools menu, and select Internet Options.
2. Click on the Security Tab.
3. Click on the Local Intranet zone.
4. Click the Sites button.
5. Click the Advanced button.
6. Uncheck the 'Require server verification…" box.
7. Add the following sites:
   • mysite.uky.edu
   • sharepoint.uky.edu
   • wiki.uky.edu
   • academics.uky.edu
   • blog.uky.edu
8. Click Close.
9. Click OK.
10. Click OK.

This will cover the major SharePoint Applications used on the campus side.

Additionally, changes to the way Windows Vista handles opening Office documents loaded from SharePoint sites can also lead to increased login prompts when opening Office files.

You can follow the following steps to remove this additional restriction:

1. Click Start, type 'regedit' in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
   • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click Multi-String Value.
   • Type AuthForwardServerList, and then press ENTER.
4. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
5. In the Value data box, type the URLs of the server that hosts the Web share (one per line), and then click OK.
   • mysite.uky.edu
   • sharepoint.uky.edu
   • wiki.uky.edu
   • academics.uky.edu
   • blog.uky.edu
6. Exit Registry Editor.
