Just wondering if there is a way to disable people from saving files to the local hard drive. My setup is Windows 4.0 Server and Windows 4.0 Workstations that people log on to the domain. I've set up policies and the accounts, but I didn't see anyway to prevent local file system access.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't know if you can since Windows itself has to write to files on the C drive.

This is a long shot but if you are using NTFS set up NTFS Securities on the C drive and make it so the users can't write to it yet also setup admin accounts so that they can.
