Is anyone else allowing users to download files via IE ? ie word docs and PDf 
files on local Intranets ?
I cant believe im the only person restricting access to drive letters.
Anyone ?

  Im having one of those days today and im having a mental relapse.

  I hate allowing anyone to be able to download a thing with IE but im forced 
to compromise for a certain group.

  Users have GPO's applied to hide and restrict access to the OS drives. 
  They want to be able to visit a web site and save documents to their home 
drive letter. I have added a policy to set the IE download folder to the user 
home drive. 
  Is this possible without redirecting Temporary Internet Folders a home drive 
or turning off the restrict drive access

  I can get round the temp folders issue for Lotus Notes 6.5.4 and Outlook 
attachments but didnt think it was possible for IE.

  Anyone got this working ?

  Regards
