I have tried this question on bit.listserv.wpwin-l but had no luck!

The problem is with WordPerfect for Windows 6.0A.  My installation of
windows is such that it is run directly from the file server - users
do not have their own set up.  The windows directory is also write
protected.  This way everyone gets exactly the same view of windows
everytime they log in.  The problem is that WPWIN6.0A insists on
writing a file called WPQC60OZ.DAT to the windows directory - normal
users cannot do this and so when they try to run wordperfect it
fails.

Does anyone know what this file is used for, and how do I stop WP
from writing it?

Thanks,
