OK, USB Flash Drive. Insert into a 2k machine, sees the drives and am
able
to write to it. If I remove the flash drive and then re-insert, the files
are not there. If I created the file in word, I see the file as a tmp
file.
I assume that the OS has not fully commited the files to the drive. If I
do
the same thing in XP it works fine with no issues

Note...not using safely eject, due to user restrictions on the
desktop...this cannot be changed. As I said, works perfect under XP, just
not 2K.

We plan on rolling this to a large population of users, but half the
machines are 2K.

Is there a way to make the drive commit the files to the drive? i.e. a
script, a utility, a process, a service, etc? As I said, there is no way
we
can change the saftely eject properties....so thats not an option. Thanks
for the help.
