C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\STARTUP\macro_lnk.dot

macro_lnk.dot is a shortcut that points to S:\word\macros\macro.dot.

No, it is not a shortcut. It does not point to anything (except itself). A .
DOT file in Startup loads the code of that DOT file.

I am not sure what you mean. macro_lnk.dot is a shortcut. In Windows
Explorer it lists it as a shortcut. If you right click macro_lnk.dot
the target is listed as S:\word\macros\macro.dot.

I know this shortcut works because I double click it and it starts
word and the macro runs fine. Also this works on 8 of 12 PCs. So when
word starts it sees the macro_lnk.dot file, it resolves to the target
location and it loads the macro from the target location. I have
working on my PC running Vista and Word 2003. It is just a few PCs
that have a problem. For some reason it does not resolve the target
or ignores it.

Try it for yourself.
