@Tom-Kirby - I hope you've had some joy recovering the data. Unless absolutely necessary, access to C:\ should be hidden, making it impossible to save data locally. This can be achieved using GPOs.
It sounds to me as though a mapped drive has been setup, but it isn't overriding the default C:\Documents and Settings\ This would point to a permissions issue. Generally speaking users should be given full control to their own mapped My Documents.
in the end i realised im not recovering his work. im recovering his convinience!
it was only quotes, and these quotes was e-mailed out to people(so still reside in his exchange mailbox>sent items/archive)
my documents arn't automaticly mapped by default(via GPO) so when setting up a user. we are ment to redirect the my Doc folder manualy... this wasn't done!
new domain comming in soon. what means a rebuild in GPO's!(forum topic to follow!)
Why do it manually?my documents arn't automaticly mapped by default(via GPO) so when setting up a user. we are ment to redirect the my Doc folder manualy... this wasn't done!
It's not painful to setup for this to be done automatically. I did it a couple of years back and it is a godsend when swapping out computers and laptops, their My Docs is ready for them.Originally Posted by Tom-Kirby
Exactly, it adds a true roaming experience so their data is always available and managed centrally. If you need a point in the right direction, Folder Redirection is what you're looking for.It's not painful to setup for this to be done automatically.

We currently do this and it does make life a hell of a lot easier. Maybe there could be a tutorial set up if anyone knows the ins and outs of it.
