For security reasons the network at work deny's users the right to write information to the C Drive. Data storage is carried out on the server. This means that the very sensitive data is secure and backed up regularly. Programs can write/read/delete data to the C drive but that is it. But being that Winzip is a program it seems to have the relevant rights to write to the C drive. This is a security risk as the computers on this network are completely locked down. No USB, floppy or CD writers, necessary for the type of sensitive data that is being handled. The problem is that any user who was in the right mind to want any of the data off the server would be able to zip it into a folder on the C drive then bust the case of the computer open take the HD drive out, slave it to another machine, rip the data off and return it, possibly with no one being any wiser? Is there any way of limiting a user within winzip to stop it from having access to the C drive? Without CPU case alarms?

Winzip isn't the problem. If a user can use Winzip to access the files, they can save the files with any program.
As for securing the computers, if you're so worried about someone accessing the computers by breaking into and smashing the computers, you need to hire more reliable people.

If you're using XP it has a built in zip and unzip; so you don't need Winzip!
Right click on any file and select Send to - and there should be a zipped folder option.
