I have a system that is locked down so the user can not even use windows
explorer. But I need to user be able to save a wordpad file to the hard
drive. I want to assign a particular directory to save through the
application.

Do I have a way to write a notepad or wordpad app that can only save file to
for exaample e:\joe.

Thanks!

Yes, that is easy

You have the NoChangeDirectory in the FileOpen/Save dialogs & you can assign
'WriteOnly' permissions to that file, so, they are able to save that file to
the directory you specify.

I used fileopendialog and filesavedialog, but I could not find the options
you specified.
please post a sample code.

Thanks!

My guess if no one respond, then I just write my own save dialog.
