I need to stop the recent files that are being stored on the C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\RecentI think those are the ones saving off onto the C Drive.Thank for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coreper Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 why do you want to change the directory?i think that is how office creates its Document History [aka: Recently Opened Documents, aka: Recent Documents]: Office creates shortcuts [very small sizes] to the recently created documents, so it can load and display them in the recent documents listing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I logged in as the IUSR account and opened excel so it can create the directories but it didn't create them under the Computer Name\ASPNET directory it create an IUSR directory and created it uder that. Is there any way to stop these from being created on the root drive of my server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
