Changing Save Location

[Graham]

Hi All
I have just installed FrontPage 2003 on a XP work station that is connected
a 2000 domain.
As this is a school environment I do not allow students to access any local
drives.
They have a mapped home and public dir residing on a file server.
When a student trys to save a page I get an error msg "Can not save" and
that's all.
I doesn't give me a chance to locate any drives.

If I log on as myself no problems as I have access to the local drive.

I believe it is a permission error and would like to change the default
location when saving a doc to the students mapped home dir.
I am hoping it is a registry change etc as we use mandatory profiles and I
need it to automatically set the change at logon..

Thankyou.

Graham

Most likely, the problem is that FrontPage can't save a
temporary file somewhere.

Try downloading and installing the FileMon utility from
http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/utilities.shtml.

Then, logon as a student, start the filemon log, try to
save the file, stop the log, and see if you can figure
out where access is being denied.
