In the high school where I've been teaching, the student folders show up on the PCs as network directories except on occasion when one hasn't let the entire login script run before trying to access it. (Fix: log out and log back in properly.) In my experience, all but a very few kids with extremely limited English skills understand almost immediately how to navigate to their own student folder. Furthermore, they'd probably be shocked by an application that automatically found it for them instead of being confronted with the dialog informing they can't save to their C drive everytime they try to save something.
Not to mention that as soon as the server setup is changed, folders renamed, etc. your appl will become obsolete and need to be recoded. I think you will be fighting a losing battle to try to hard code the saving path. Just let the user find the location of their proper folder, most kids are quite capable of doing that, and store that path with "getSaveFolderItem". Then when info changes, the Users can simple change the location.
