i am trying to save a search to look in a certain folder for the "previous
week"

i can save it, but when i use it again it does not look in the folder,
instead it looks on the whole C drive, unless i change that parameter
everytime.

everything else is "saved" for the search.. dates.. type of file.. but not
the actual folder i want/need.

on one of my computers this "saved search" actually saves everything, but
the other three it works as described above, leading me to believe there
might be a setting somewhere.


is there a setting somewhere i don't know about?
