I have a domain containing profiles for users. They are constantly saving
documents to their desktops, resulting in silly sized profiles. I want to
force them to save them on their network drive (Home Folder). Is there a way
to prevent word/access/powerpoints being saved to the desktop. Using group
policy.
Server is Windows 2000 Server SP4. Clients are Win 2k SP4.

I don't want mandatory profiles, as they are allowed to customize the
desktops to their hearts desire, just not save documents on it
