Permissions to save in directory!!1

[Ven]

Hi!

I have a windows server 2003 domain controller along with two other
application servers.

I created a new user in the Active Directory and logged onto the domain
using his credentials from his desktop computer.

While testing - I found out that Iam not able to save any files I created
onto the "C" Drive or the "D" Drive, but I am able create a folder on "C" or
"D" Drives and

then I can save files inside the folders. Iam also able to save onto My
Documents and Desktop.

The error I get when trying to save onto "C" or "D" Drive is - "You do not
have permissions to save in this Directory. See the administrator to obtain
permission"

I logout the user and login as the administrator of the domain - right click
"My Computer" - Manage and in the Groups - Administrator - I added the user
as the member of administrator group - This way Iam able to save files
anywhere - Obviously.

Can anybody pl let me know what is the issue?

I do not have any group policies - or the local security policy of the
Domain Controller and the User Computer are all "not defined"

Thank you in advance.

Ven

perhaps xp is not suited with win2003,you sould use win
nt,win2000,win2003,instead of xp.
just my opinion.

Hello Ven,

If i am not totally wrong, normally users are prevented to save directly
to the drives. This is done for example, to prevent changes of the startup
files on c: drive, throught viruses etc. Because you are allowed to create
folders and save there anything, this is for user the way to do it.
