Default Setting a folder as the default when saving documents

I used to remember how to make a folder the default that documents save to.
That is, when I click on Save, instead of going to C:/My Documents, I can
have it save to my J: Drive. Can anyone help me?
Thanks

Default

Hi,

The way I would do it is to redirect "My Documents" to J:\, you can do
this by right-clicking "My Documents" and choosing "Properties".

In general, Office will use the Windows User Shell Folder locations,
however, you need to ask yourself why this J drive is the correct place
to store things, and how reliable is it?

By default each user has their own "My Documents" location, and this
prevents kids being able to accidently browse to Mom and Dad's data and
visa-versa. Who knows who has access to this J: drive?

If J: is a network drive, then it makes more sense, as your data will be
backed up.
