    Why would you want to do that for all programs? Legitimate users would suddenly find they try to save something onto a floppy using Word and their past hour's work disappears...

    Can you not just lock down the hard disk for paticular users?

    I'm with td on this one. If your running NT or 2000, you can set the security and sharing level for the drives you don't want people to access
    Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!

    There are so many holes in 9x disabling Common Dialogues wouldn't help - Internet Explorer (Address bar, put "c:\" in and you're done); Start->Run and all sorts
