I'm trying to use SQUEAK at my school. All the computers are networked thru a Novell server. I would like to control the location of the student files so that they go to the student's home directory on the server. Any help would be appreciated. Lou

If you can send me some more information offline (not to the list) about what your setup looks like, also including a few example paths for children's home directories (e.g. f:\users\tim) I will work out instructions on how to do this. I will also, of course, send a summary to the list :-)

I'm in a similar situation. I've found a way to save projects to a networked drive, but it only works if you run Squeak "standalone", by which I mean "not as a browser plugin".
What works for me is going into the "Navigator" tab, moving the mouse to the "Publish It!" button, and holding down the left mouse button until a menu with more choices pops up. Select "Publish to Different Server", and another menu pops up, with all the network drives on it. To drill down into a drive, click on the triangle to the left of its name.
HTH,

Which reminds me that I still needed to follow-up with the list. In the attached zip archive you can find a modified version of the Squeak.ini file that resides in the Squeak installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\Squeak\Plugin).
The addition entry
[security] UserDirectory=%HomePath%
points Squeak to user the home directory of the user. If you want to use a networked drive, you can also edit to to look like, e.g.
[security] UserDirectory=H:
