Won't Save becuase c: drive is unaccesable

[Guest]

In my corprate enviroment we are running front page but as part of our
security policy access to the c: drive has been disabled through windows
explorers via a group policy.

This then cuases a error with front page with not been able to save to the c
drive therefore it won't dispay the save dialog box and thus not allowing the
user to be saved.

The users my documents are redrected to a network share that is mapped to
the H drive for each user.

i've had a look in the registry but i can't seem to find anything that will
allow me to modifiy the intial directory that front page looks in.

I would like it to automatically point to they H drives.

Change the default directory used by FrontPage for creating and storing web sites:

middle of the page.

I also suspect FP is balking because it uses the system drive (probably c for saves of FP temp files and FP web cache data
- have those also been changed?

FP Temp Files
Usually in C:\WINDOWS\Temp and %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temp
- in FP 2003 you need to look in the super hidden folder
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\FrontPageTempDir
FP web cache files
Usually in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Server Extensions\Cache

I wouldn't "think" that would matter. Even though the drive is blocked from "User access"
the "system" should still be able to access it, providing that the install was successful.

Note I said "should."
