Excel 2007 on Terminal Server - Set Default File Location for all Users

I have a Windows 2008 Terminal Server and some users log in and use Excel 2007 for a shared project they are working on.

How can I set the default file location for all users when they go to Open a file.  The directory is on the Terminal Server

If the solution is using Group Policy, I don't want it to set this same location if they are using Excel locally on their computer.

oBdA,
I think I would do it with a Local Policy since it's only on 1 Terminal Server that we need Excel to run.  Where do I put the Office 2007 Admin templates?
On 2008, they need to go into %systemroot%\policyDefinitions; check here for details:
