In our schools we have frontpage 2003 installed on some computers running Windows 7. The teachers have user rights. the students however have the same rights but are restricted from browsing the C drive (GPO Settings).

Frontpage works just fine for the teachers but when students try to open a file they get an "Unable to open file" message popup, they get the same message when trying a save as.

Any ideas on what causes this would be great.

I don't even get to select a file, as soon as I click file open or save I get the "Unable to Open file" message. Office 2010 works fine, it's just Frontpage 2003 on our Windows 7 systems and only for students who have restricted rights. They can't see the c drive.
