[ms office - 2013] Changing Default Save location for Deployment

[wroberts]

Hi All,

 

Was wondering if any of you knew how to change the default save location for Office2013, i am asking this because the kids in our school are not able to save to the C Drive which is the default location for office on original installation..

 

I would like to change it so that the kids are automatically given their U Drive to save to, is this something that is possible. ?

 

Regards

 

Will

The only real way I can see you doing this easily is with mandatory profiles. Make the profile, change the default location by going into word>file>options>save, specify the new save location in here and then get all your users to log on with the new profile. Looking online you can make certain changes by pushing out a registry key but it seems more to be related to the cloud storage option and doesn't mention changing it to mapped drives.
