[THIN] Re: Mind going ... is this possible with IE

I cannot disagree and its not something i wasnt aware of. :¬)
I had considered it and i'd mentioned this twice in earlier posts (28/10/2005 
see below).

What i didnt do was state the reasons why ... performance/features/griping 
users.
Ive got 2000 plus users to roll this out to who are mainly pc users and they 
are not used to having locked down sessions. 
I went through a load of grief with Lotus Notes 5.12 which did pretty much the 
same thing when opening attachments. I sorted out that pain in the backside by 
migrating to Notes 6.5.4 and making a simple Notes.ini change.

  fair enough, but at least one answer is 'yes, if you move the local settings 
directory' ;) 

  Quite happy for you to hold out for something better - just wanted to check 
you hadn't missed this one out :)

  Hi Andrew,

  I am trying to avoid doing that. Hence my questions to see if anyone had 
overcome what im seeing.

    Have you moved the local settings folder, which should contain the IE 
temporary files and the personal temp, which should cover what you need?

    For other apps apart from IE yes i agree.
    Folder redirection is working fine.
    IE ignores folder redirection when you open an embedded doc in a web page.

      By redirecting My Documents and then making My Documents the default save 
location, the user will not be accessing a drive letter and documents will go 
to the desired location.

        Hi Roger,

        Im doing the same thing apart from using Res Powerfuse and i hide
        drives/restrict drives using a GPO. 
        Because of the drive restriction a locked down user will have the
        Aministrator has restricted etc etc message. They can then select the 
drive
        letter required after clicking Ok.

        Similar behaviour is found with Outlook with attachments and restricted 
        drives. The work around for that is to specifiy the secure temp file 
with a
        reg hack or custom policy.

        I redirect my docs to their home drive. I hide access to all drives
        except for designated mapped drives and the home drive. I'm using
        PowerFuse to hide the drives and not GPO, though.

        When they try to download in IE, they are able to select any of the 
        drives that aren't restricted.

        Is this what you're after?

        Don't know about changing default download folder, I do know that you
        can redirect the Temp Int FIles via a reg edit (I don't recall it 
        being available from w2k folder redirection GPO's).

        Go to
        "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Us
        er
        Shell Folders" and look the the "cache"  entry.
