Scratch

I'm not sure, perhaps someone (or something, maybe malware.) deleted them. If the students visit external websites oftenly, there's a chance it might have been malware.

I have just been asked to load Scratch onto our PCs at school.  We use a networked server currently to save all children's work on.  I noticed that Scratch defaults to putting saved files on the local machine's c: drive.  This is a real problem for our school children as they do not have access to c: drive for obvious reasons outlined in the post above.  Chadders09, I think this may be why you can't find your projuscts if your network is set up in a similar way.  They are probably on c:drive and the children can't access them.

I want to know if there is a way of setting up Scratch when initialliy loaded to store output files and projects else where eg on our network drives.

Within a project I tried to do a "save as" to see if it would allow me to browse to my network place, but it won't allow me (logged on with administrator rights) to get past c:drive.  This makes scratch a little unworkable for us.

If anyone has a way round this I would be very grateful.  I have teachers and children champing at the bit to use this lovely looking software.

Thanks.

scratch by default saves in the projects folder, but you should be able to change where scratch gets installed in the first place, so then it wont be on the C drive
you can't even save as? man that's wierd, that never happens to me(I dont have a server) but without admin rights, I can save else where.
