Save, defaults to System32 folder

[willisd]

Hello,

I've got a bit of a strange problem.

I have a user with Winnt4.0, sp6a, using office 97. When he tries to save his excel document (using save as), it defaults to the System32 folder (even though in options, i've specified his home directory on our fileserver). This problem only seems to happen once. Then after you rectify it, it seems to be ok.
And it only comes back again, if you log off, then on again?

Any help would be appreciated.

David

Possibly:-
Check the user's local NT profile. If a temporary local profile is being created during login then the changes will only be valid during that session. When you log back in again a new, default, temporary profile will be used, hence why the setting is lost.
