Really that makes sense, and I have no problem with just saying save to the Z Drive, but I had a kid the other day save a document to the desktop instead of the z drive and lost his work. I didn't really feel to bad about it, just wanted to see if I could prevent it from happening again.

Karl,
It sounds like you want a roaming profile. Most schools shy away from
roaming profiles. They take a lot of network resources to push the
desktop/profile over the network every time some logs in. Why save to the desktop and not just to the students home folder? Maybe I am confused on
what you are doing with the Mac/PC integration.

OK so I have all my windows computers authenticate through my OSX
servers running 10.4.x. Every user can access their docs that auto
mounts as drive Z, but when they save something to the WIndows desktop
it gets lost.  What setting am I missing in Workgroup manager that
will allow them to drop documents on the windows desktop, or make
shortcuts on the desktop and have them be there whenever they log into
a windows computer. I know that if they don't put their files in the Z
drive they will not be available on a Mac when they log-in.
