I successfully login to my sharepoint (wss3.0) site with my AD credentials and when I try to view/open a word document in a document library, I am again prompted to re-enter my AD credentials. Is there any way to stop this? And if not, why is it so?
Add your SharePoint site to the Local intranet zone in Internet Explorer settings.

The problem is that when I disable the "SharePoint Designer" from the "SharePoint Designer Settings" (Site Collection Level), I can still edit this with my Administrator account. It works fine for another users who is not the Administrator. Do this behavior is know in SharePoint? Can someone explain me why this happen? If not, how can I disable the "Edit with SharePoint designer" for the Admin. Thanks
To disable SharePoint Designer for even Site Collection admins, you need to do so at the web application level via SharePoint Central Admin.
The setting you're changing at the Site Collection level only affects Site Owners & Designers; it does not, as you've seen, have any affect on Site Collection admins.
For instructions on disabling SharePoint Designer for an entire web app via SP Central Admin, see this guide here:

I have somewhat of an odd question (for me, at least).
We have some private information a department would like to place on our SharePoint farm. The problem is, this is very sensitive information, and law demands that we have a 'two-stage' login process to secure the data.
Currently, it is housed using a system that:
A) you have to login to our network (windows logon screen)
B) you have to login to the application.
Our SharePoint farm has integrated authentication enabled. Meaning, once you login to your computer in the morning, you never have to login to sharepoint as it already knows your credentials.
This is a problem for us. Can we enable some sort of custom Sharepoint login?
Will this require a new web app for the site? A new site collection only perhaps?
Thanks,

What you are looking for is called forms based authentication. Sharepoint 2010 uses claims based authentication and one of the providers you can configure is forms based. Meaning they provide a user name and password.
Here is a tutorial with the steps to do, it is a relatively straight forward process. just follow all the steps.

If you move you site out of Intranet zone, then IE will automatically ask for credential everytime.

in SharePoint 2010 server environment and a site collection that use FBA Authentication , how do i allow anonymous users to register ?
any help on that ? any tutorial ? i have searched for awhile and cant find something useful.
Sharepoint does not come with any kind of registration pages. You have to build them yourself or use a third party tool.
The Sharepoint 2010 FBA Pack has registration pages you can use. Check it out:

I am looking to have a SharePoint Extranet Portal setup for my "partner" clients. I want to make a site admin for each extranet site for each client. This admin would be able to add new users to the portal AND have that user be created in AD (Active Directory).
Has anyone done this or know of a good tool that would provide me that ability to do this?
I would suggest using ADAM (Acitve Directory Application Mode). This way you separate your own company users. Seeing as it's AD, you can keep your existing authentication provider.
See this tool (costs money though) for creating AD users.
Bamboo Solutions User Account Setup Web Part.
DO a Google search for SharePoint and ADAM for more information.
I found these articles on creating users into AD. You could use SmartPart and build your own web part and manage the security implications of this.
Here they are:

Is there any MOSS out of the box web service which allows us to check if a user has access to a document library if I know the URL for the document library. I have the URL for the SharePoint document library, user name and password.
Thanks.
Yes, please if a user has "Read" permission on document library. If there is no out of the box web service, and we develop our own web service, does this need to be deployed on a server where MOSS is insalled?
Nothing OOB with MOSS 2007/ WSS 3.0
