Save to Floppy Only

[drakpack]

I was picked (short straw) to maintain 8 computers in a Sorority House. They all have W2k Pro. How would I set the machines so that the users can only save Info to a floppy disk? Office 2000 pro programs. They want to open and edit on drive C: but only save to A:. Through users groups, I have them where they cannot install programs. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Mike

In Word 2000 - open it and then go to Tools > Options.
When the options open - select the tab File Locations.
Select the Documents and press Modify. When the next window opens - in the Folder name type A:\ and press OK - This will
force the users to save the files to the A: drive.

In EXCEL - Open the EXCEL and on the main tool bar - select Tools - Options - Click on the General Tab - In the Default File Location put A:\ and press ok.

Access 2000 - On the Main Tool Bar - Select Tools - Options.
Click on the General Tab and in the Default Database Folder type A:\ and press ok.

Thank you for the help.

Those steps will only tell the Office programs where to initially try to save to. The users will still be able to navigate to the C:\ drive and save there if they choose.

drakpack,

how about this:

I have done this on standalone pc's to restrict access to the hard drive(s) successfully.
