Default Dreamweaver MX

I Have recently started working in a school with Dreamweaver MX
installed on every computer. All student and staff accounts have their
C drive hidden as to prevent any possible accidental damage or
malicious actions. Unfortunately the Dreamweaver MX File explorer will
allow anyone to see and access the C drive. It will also allow them to
create folder to which they have full permissions. As any of these
folders could then be used to run files this s a major concern. Does
anyone know how to prevent Dreamweaver from allowing users to do this?

You can't prevent "Dream Weaver", but you could have the computers
locked down so that users could not create folders - it's not a problem
with applications, it's a problem with security. Contact your
administrator/network people and ask.

Fight exposing kids to porn, complain about sites like PCBUTTS1.COM that
create filth and put it on the web for any kid to see: Just take a look
at some of the FILTH he's created and put on his website:
http://forums.speedguide.net/archive.../t-223485.html all exposed
to children (the link I've include does not directly display his filth).
You can find the same information by googling for 'PCBUTTS1' and
'exposed to kids'.

Just reminds me of a little child saying "If I just hold my eyes closed he
can't harm me..."

Damn, what about setting up appropriate access control permissions? Playing
seek and hide can't enforce anything.

Should have said that users also dont have write access to the C
drive, somehow dreamweaver is bypassing the permissions.
