Hi

just confirm what version of word your using
you can use a logon script to modify the users registry upon logon or use GPO
For Word the Registry key is
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\W ord\Options\DOC-PATH

Excel it is

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\E xcel\Options\DefaultPath

you can also use the Group policy to set the default paths as well
here is a link on how to do that
