Hidden C:with GP but not in Frontpage

We hide the local disk from the pupils using the group policies :

"Hide these specified drives in My Computer"
&
"Prevent access to drives from My Computer"

and all is fine except when using Frontpage. When saving any web pages the local disk is still visible to the user and they are able to save them directly to the C:. In any other MS office app the local disk is not visible so the users can only save to floppy or their home folder.

Has anyone got a solution for this or can point me in the right direction please.

Thanks, Si

Still not sorted this one out yet ,

AJ do you get the same as I know your using (or in the process of rolling out) Office 2003. Were using office 2000 so wondered if it was the version of office.

 

I think I may have found a solution:

I'll give it a go and let you know. ( just realised I'm talking to myself)

 

Si you aint talking to yourself, I'm watching with interest I just haven't got anything useful to contribute

 

I know Phil only kidding.

Well I upgraded to SP3 for office 2000 and that has stopped the C drive from bieng visable by FrontPage BUT now I cant save at all as all I get now is an error mesage telling me :

and no explorer window to save to another location :roll:

 

Could that be a default save to location setting within frontpage options ?

 

Thats what I thought but cant find anything, I found a registry hack for FP 2002:

http://www.at-frontpage.com/2002/default_directory.htm

but nothing for FP 2000 and the above registry references are not there in 2000.

 

Getting there, the little app mentioned at the bottom of the above link works. It is made for FP 2002 but tried it and it worked.

Only thing is that we use a mandatory profile for the kids so I need to update the mandatory profile as the setting dont keep once logged out.

Nearly there.......
