Can not create/write/delete file on root of c: drive

I have a customer that would like to use the Data Tracking wizard in Excel in
Office 2007. They installed the add-in but it only works correctly under
the Administrator account. When I ran Process Montor I discovered that the
problem is occuring because the wizard is trying to create/write/delete a
file in the root of the c: drive. Vista does not like this and neither does
Windows 2003 Terminal server.

Does any one know how to get either Vista or Terminal server to allow a user
(not administrator) to create a file on the root of c:?

I tried assigning file permissions to the root of c: for the user but his
does not work. There is a higher authority working somewhere that is
overriding everything.

Any help is appreciated.
