A:

Nope. That is not possible. You cannot access client system from server-side. The best you can do is let the user download the powerpoint file on a button click. You can prompt the user to save it into My Documents preferably but you can never force him to do so, it is entirely his preference as to where to store the file.
The web applications work much differently then the desktop clients. Should such a thing ever be possible, Imagine what if the user is accessing your website from a linux or Mac machine where there's nothing like My Documents.
