Journal File Location - not located in registry setting

Our IT department, in their infinite brilliance, changed our permission on our C:\ drive and now SW cannot create a journal file. I also cannot locate where the journal file is typically created by looking in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\software\SolidWorks\SolidWorks 200x\ExtReferences) because SW can't even CREATE the file.

Where would SW typically store the journal file, please? Our IT department is going to have to alter the C:\ drive permission to allow changes to this directory.

Please advise and thank you!
