Missing My Computer when saving

[St3n]

Hi Chaps,

 

I have taken over a school for a awhile now and have stumbled across a problem that appears to be effecting the school. When a teacher or pupil tries to save any work and clicks the save as option to browse, there doesn't appear to be a "My Computer" option so they cant browse network shares or locate a USB stick. I believe its got to be GPO issue but not sure where to look.

 

Attached a screen shot.

Maybe? Or is it just within Office?

Hi Steve,

 

Its not just within office, I may have found the problem. It could be a dodgy OS build as I have two different machines and one works and one doesn't. Going to reimage a machine to see if I can duplicate the problem.

Check registry sections in GPOs and login scripts, as you can only remove stuff in that navigation box with reg hacks...
