Re: Office 2003 Folder Redirection and Denying Access to C

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Okay, I understand that a user needs full access to his/her profile. My
guess is that the Block Access to C Drive is interfering with the user having
the correct permissions to the C. This ONLY effects Office 2003 though, as I
can download files to the Desktop from IE7. In other words, users with the
folder redirection and blocked access to C drive can download pictures to the
Desktop from e-mail, or a program from a website. I need our patrons to be
able to do this so they have a temp workplace to store their files. All
files are erased after they log off with Deep Freeze. So my question still
remains, I need a way to redirect a user's My Documents to the Desktop, to
deny access to C AND give the user the necessary rights to view/save files to
the Desktop. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, going to each machine to do this
manually just won't work. Too many workstations to even consider trying
this. Is there a way to redirect users My Docs to the desktop, block access
to C and give the users necessary rights to view the Desktop without going to
each machine to do this manually?

you can take ownership of the folders/files and replace with the correct
permisions, this is done manually not by using GPO.

The profile is a local profile on the computer itself. If this is truly a
permissions issue, how do I configure a GP to take ownership of a local
folder?

I am a Network Admin at a public library. I use a group policy to
redirect
our patron users My Documents folder to the desktop using the following
path,
C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Desktop. All use the same domain
user
account to login to the public workstations. Now, I have started to
upgrade
all the public workstations to Office 2003. When a patron goes to open a
file from within any Office 2003 program, he/she receives an error
message
that he/she does not have the necessary rights to view the folder. If
the
user clicks "OK" he/she can browse to a flash drive, floppy or the
desktop
with no problem. The reason the user receives this warning message is
that I
also use a group policy to restrict access to the C drive. If I disable
this
policy, the patron users do not receive a warning message about the
rights.
Is there a way to prevent this message from displaying while still using
the
combination of GP's I currently employ? We have a Windows 2003 domain.
