If you can find the Web Folder through the open file dialog, that will work
(and I know works, because Iıve done that). However, my goal is to keep
users from having to change their Office application settings. Iıd like to
nip it at the repository level.
Does anyone know why Office apps have difficulty cleaning up their temp
files off of the repository when that app closes? Is it that the Office app
loses perspective in regards to the user account privileges accessing the
directory?
