How do you set up a default path for users so when they either open or close a file using any application will go to a specic directory. Thanks all

This is usually controlled by the application. For example, in Microsoft Word, you have to set Tools-> Options -> File locations to the directory you choose.

Good luck.

If you specifically mean on a shared network resource, than you can either set a home directory in the login script or specify the home location in the NT/2000 servers user profiles

Set the path.

For a particular machine edit the PATH environment variable using the control panel-system tool.

For all machines set the PATH environment variable in the netlogin script. Be careful that all machines have access to all the locations in the path or you might experience long delays checking unmapped drives, etc. You might want to set different paths for different groups of machines based on COMPUTERNAME.
