Is it possible to limit where a user can save work from office? at the moment i have the C: drive hidden using the registry command but when a user goes to save in Office by clicking the Up One Lvl button he can get anywhere into the C: drive. If i created a folder, for example "Student", can I set Office to default to that folder and only allow it to save to that folder or the A: drive? Or can the Up One Lvl button be disabled?

In Word 2000, for example, go to Tools, Options, and the File Locations tab. In there you can make numerous changes.

You can remove the Save as option from the file menu as a partial deterent. A Save only saves to the default folder. However, an Office program will still do a Save as if the file is new with a default name like document1 and that opens the file navigation window. So it's not a complete fix.
If you are running on Win2K or above with NTFS format drive(s) you could restrict write access to every folder except the "students" folder. Then they could still go where ever but wouldn't be able to save.
The two rules for success:
1. Never tell them everything you know.
