restrict exam users to only save to the desktop

[markchicken]

we have to stop our exam users from being able to save documents anywhere other than the desktop. we user a single generic account for all users to log on which restricts most things including not having a home directory but I am unable to see how I restrict the account to only save to desktop.

 

the user can see my documents and the desktop folders, the libraries folders plus the c drive and reserved d drive.

 

we need them to only 'see' the desktop and be able to save there when they are in explorer

How about creating a folder on the hard drive of each machine, to which they have write access and redirecting the desktop to that folder? That way the generic account can still be used, but each instance will redirect to a unique location. Remove write access to, or hide the locations you don't want them to save to.

Out of interest why do you only have one account for exams when students are saving work to it?

 

We set up individual accounts for users when they need to create work, This then is saved to that users area. The Exams officer then has access to the accounts work areas so they can do what they need to with the exam work.

This stops students deleting other students work etc.

 

Any online exams we log them in as a single user as usually all work is done within the exam portal.

the particular exam users is an online account that needs permission to download the exams clients if needed when the client is launched! they use the C&G secure access client for the online exam and the desktop app excel to produce the evidence. this is then uploaded to the secure portal at the end of the exam. our exam officers want the users to only be able to save the file to the desktop as the exam board stipulate that the files need to be deleted by the officers once the files have been uploaded and the recycle bin emptied. the exam officers are concerned that the users may save the work 'anywhere' the users have access to!
