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 -- Thomas Becker II |

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. trbecker2 wrote: I used to remember how to make a folder the default that documents save to.
