I have a strange problem. One of our high profile users opened a word 
document as an email attachment in Netscape Messenger. Doing this opened 
the document with Word the user proceeded to fill infomrmation in this 
document and save the document 6 times. She did not look where she was 
saving and because the doc was opened from C:\Documents and 
Settings\%username% \local settings\temp it saved the docuement there. 
We use roaming profiles and delete the local cache profile upon log off, 
so there went the documents. There is no way on the surface to change 
where Netscape opens an attachment. I hate to ask this question but is 
there a way to redirect the temp folder to the user's static directory? 
Does anyone have another idea. My managment wants me to fix this to make 
this idiot proff and save the users from themselves. Any input would be 
most appreciated.
