Prevent user saving document on their desktop

[kevinnguyen]

I'd like to know how disable option to disallow user saving document on their desktop? Do I have to create custom ADM/
Please help.Thanks

You could set up a Manditory Profile, which won't let them KEEP files they save to their desktop.

If you use redirected My Documents, you can have them save their stuff THERE (and keep it.)

See what I mean? Restrict the desktop via Manditory Profile. Give 'em space to store stuff with redirected My Documents.

How about the opposite? I want users to be able to save files nowhere, but in their profile. I have users saving things all over the local hard drives wasting space at the terminals.

NTFS permissions then.

If they're saving stuff everywhere, you have to lock things down.

I know, I know.. it's a drag, and fraught with peril.

If I knew a better way, I'd tell you. :-)

Well, since their profiles are stored on the server, what if I blanketed the permissions on the C:\ giving domain users only read rights, would that break anything (I imagine it would, but it would be nice if it could work)?

Windows will undoubededtly break.
