    Prevent them? I don't see how you can prevent them if you are going to use a Common Dialog box. I'm assuming that you want them to save files to a network drive rather than there own hard disk, so I would present them with a list of the network drive letters they currently have mapped, and tell to pick one.
    Once that is done, then programmatically save whatever ...

    Even if you default a Common Dialog to open on a specific network folder, the users will be able to manuver themselves anywhere they want to go, including their own C: drives.

    Download TweakUI and choose to hide all the drives you don't want to be visible (C etc).

    HTH.
