hiding network save options

Post by gene »

Hi
This may be more of a group policy question than pwb question.

I want patrons to be able to save to a floppy and no where else.

Right now I have the C drive restricted so that they don't view it, therefore can't save to it. however when you save something, you get the windows save dialogue box that allows you to pull down 'network places' and save to folders on the network.

I don't see anything in pwb or in the group policy that pertains directly to this.

can you suggest anything? We are on windows 2000 computers.

Thanks,
Gene

PWB's restricted save feature can accomplish this to some degree - it will only allow saving to the drives you specify when downloading linked files. Scott has a more complete restricted save add-on that handles just about every file saving situation you'll get in PWB (I've seen a beta version and it works slick).

Hi,
Thanks that did the trick.

However, I do have one more non-related question.
I have allowed 'print preview' but it doesnt' allow a page to be previewed when I click on this.

any idea?

thanks

Are you using Internet Explorer 5.5 or better? Print preview was not introduced in IE until 5.5, so PWB will not have print preview unless you have IE 5.5 or better.
