You could change the temporary folder in IE by setting the Cache folder
hkcu\software\m$\winndows\currentversion\explorer\user shell folders\cache.
Or maybe even all local data.
Problem theres gonna be the performance of the users session - if you move
it to the home directory all these temporary files are going to be saved on
a network rather than a local drive.
You could perform a subst on the local profile path, then allow the user
access to that 'drive', then change the setting to reference this local
drive. That way, the user is restricted to the main drive letter, but has
local drive access to save and see their own profile.

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 ?

We only allow access to the A: drive (via a GPO). Could you do that and
remap it?

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
