Templates on a network

Hi,
I am operating on a College network and note that when I log off any
templates I have created are no longer available for the next time I
log on. The system administrator mutters something about profiles but
did not comment on how the situation could be resolved.
I have been saving Templates in the default location
(C:docs&settings/User/Application Data/Microsoft/Templates) as I
understand this is the only location where templates will be available
from the New Publication Task Pane. I realise I can save the document
on my user drive as a document and use it as though it were a template
- but i would prefer to use it as intended from the task pane when
saved as a template.
I think the problem is that once I log off from my networked PC the log
off scripts delete any files written to the local C: drive.
Is there anyone who could provide guidance on how how I may suggest
that my system administrator should proceed in order to resolve this
issue.
