I’ve started a ‘Approval’ Work-flow in SharePoint.
However I don’t want the email notification of “This Work-flow has started” to be sent to all the people in the Work-flow. In fact the only email I want to be delivered is the “…Has been assigned to you.” email notification.
This is just a standard list not a task list.

Chosen Answer:

Using SharePoint designer you can modify the workflow or create a custom task workflow with a few easy steps. You will be able to specify which emails you wish to be sent and where.

MOSS 2007 Enable Anonymous
FAQ – How do I enable anonymous access ?

1. Enable anonymous access for a web application from the Central Admin.

Central Admin Home Page > Application Management > Authentication Providers > select the Membership Provider (authentication.aspx) and enable anonymous access from the next page.

You don’t have to do anything on the IIS Manager … enabling it from the Central Admin page will also enable it on IIS.

2. Explicitly turn it on for the sites you want to be accessed anonymously.

Browse to the site, click Site Settings > Advanced Permissions > Settings >Anonymous Access (setanon.aspx) and turn on anonymous access for the site.
