Windows – Can’t send to compressed (zipped) folder

compressiongroup-policywindowswindows-server-2008-r2

I'm IT Technician at a Secondary School and our Network Manager is away on long term leave. Currently our student's aren't able to send to – compressed folder. When trying the error 'File not found or no read permission' appears. It works for staff so I can only imagine it's a group policy setting. I have minimal knowledge on GPOs. My understanding is temp files are used on the C: drive when creating zip folders, and I've tried giving a test student full access to these but this didn't work. Third party (7-zip) also doesn't work.

Windows 7 with mix of 64/32 used. Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.

Any help massively appreciated!

I had files locked in the folder.

Once I closed the programs that had the file locked, I could create a zip file successfully.
