So I want that each client to create a text file with some data in it on their PC when logging on.

I then want all Domain Users to be able to change it on a standard WinXP NTFS %SystemDrive%.

Where do I put the file so that every client logging on the same PC can edit it without having to modify the default permissions?

Good question. I think it is easier to create a network location...
\\Server\Share

Or you could try \all users\document and settings\desktop\file.txt

I think the "c:\documents and settings\all users\desktop" directory is read-only for "Users"

You're right Witto, it is.

I've searched but there doesn't seem to be a single folder on a default-perm'd system drive where Users can share stuff with write access. It is always creator/owner and read for the rest.

So as suggested, a srv-share or a GPO-permission set folder seems like the only way it seems.

Shouldn't this be considered a... blunder in the permissions-design? ;\)

So make the share as suggested out on the network, and then put a link to the created file in the "All Users\Start Menu\File.lnk"
