I don't think ive explained myself properly. IE stores files in the temp internet files folder when it downloads them. I restrict server drive letters via GPO. User attempts to open or save a word doc/PDF file from a web page after clicking on the hypertext link. Due to the restrict drive access GPO the usual pop up box explaining that the administrator has blocked access. What im trying to do is force the download to saved to the users home folder rather than the local Temporary internet files folder. You can do with this Lotus Notes 6.5.4 and Outlook. Anyone doing this successfully ? ----- Original Message ----- From: George Yobst To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 11:34 PM Subject: [THIN] Re: Mind going ... is this possible with IE We only allow access to the A: drive (via a GPO). Could you do that and remap it? -George On 10/27/05, M <mathras@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: 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 ? ----- Original Message ----- From: M To: Thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 11:20 PM Subject: [THIN] Mind going ... is this possible with IE 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 ?
