Citrix Default Save Path for Microsoft Office 2003 Products

We currently a Citrix Metaframe XP server with mulitple users. A few of these users when going to File -> save as under Word 2003 and Excel 2003 comes up with a location that is not accessible because we denied permissions on that particular folder for various reasons. We are not sure how this has happened, but they are unable to save as any new documents because of it. How can we change it so the default save as path for office products or if it can be citrix wide points to another folder?

Thanks,
Murphyins

This should default to the "My Documents" location...but if you need to change it in a scripted way, there is a registry key that stores this info:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\Open Find\Microsoft Office Word\Settings\Modify Location\File Name MRU]

Sorry -- the correct key is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options]
"PROGRAMDIR"="C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Office\\OFFICE11\\"
Check there and you will see somthing called "DOC-PATH"

this was the easiest way to fix it, The registry fix you gave works if the user has rights to Start->Run and of course editing the registry, unless we go with the login script end of it.
