Default Templates in alternative startup location are not recognized

I've just moved up to Office 2003 from 2000.

In Excel, all the templates that I have been using from our group templates
location (set as the "At startup, open all the files in" location) are not
recognized. Two or three (out of 14) are listed without icons, and when you
click them, the pointer changes briefly and nothing happens.

They are also shown when you click the "On my computer" link, but behave the
same way (i.e. do nothing) when clicked.

These are prper templates (Save as, *.xlt etc), and I've even recreated one
using Excel 2003 with the same effect. If I move the template to my personal
templates directory on my hard disk, they are accessible to me, but the whole
point is that they are workgroup templates.

Any help is welcome, and thanks.
