You can change the user's TEMP and TMP variable to point a static drive...
It's not ideal.
If management wants to idiot proof a system, then management admits that
idiots are on the payroll. To idiot proof your system, you must convince
management to fire those idiots. Then do away with Netscape Messenger.

Subject: [THIN] Opening email attachments
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.
