There is a program called MacPrefect from a company called HiResolution that
will do what you want.  It is totally tranparent to the user unitl they try
to save something where they aren't suppose to.  We do want the users to be
able to save files to the HD, but do't want them to clutter the HD, so we
created one folder with which they could save to.  However, MacPrefect also
will automatically purge this folder after a designated period of time.
HiResolution will also send you a trial copy to try, if you like.
