We are in an environment where we have several public PC's (a library)
using a user account that is pretty severely locked down by a group
policy that limits access to the computer's c: drive. However, users
have been allowed to save documents of certain types to the desktop--in
fact, all other document types that we've tried, from .pdf to simple
..txt files from notepad will save to the desktop, no problems. That's
how we'd like it to work for ALL files...
This works fine for all files OTHER than files saved from Microsoft
Office products! When I choose "Save As" from within an Office
document of any type, and select the Desktop as my destination, an
error stating that restrictions on this workstation are preventing me
from accessing this location comes up. "See your system
administrator."
I AM the system administrator! But, sadly, I am stumped. The only
inkling I have is that during that "Save As" process in Microsoft
Office, I need access to write to a temp file in some location that may
be locked down. If that's the case, where is that location, so that I
can give the public user access?
Any ideas? THANKS!
