Default "save in" folder

[shempmcgurk]

Whenever I create a new word processing file and go to save it by
going to FILE>SAVE, the "save as" box that comes up automatically
defaults to the "My Documents" folder as the folder in which my new
file will be saved in.

But I never use that folder and I have to manually select the folder I
do want to save it in from the pull down menu on the "save as" box.

Can I change the default folder in the "save as" box from "My
documents" to the folder of my choice? And, if so, how?

I thank you in advance to the attention to this question...

It depends on the word processing program you are using. It would have
been helpful if you had mentioned that. If this is MS Word, go to
Options>File Locations and change the default location for saved files
to whatever you want. If this is another word processing program, you'll
need to look around in its options for something similar.

Sorry, it's Microsoft Works.
