"Save Image" default folder

[user]

When I right click on an image, the "Save Image" window opens to a
default folder. How does one change the default folder?? Somehow
I changed it to something very inconvenient. Somewhat related..is
it possible to change the selection of folders on the left side of
the "Save Image" window?
Thanks in advance for any help! walt

if you mean save picture as,: the default is my picture under my document


you can either edit your registry or copy the following 3 lines to a file,
let's say chgPcitureFolder.key
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders]
"My Pictures"="c:\\documents and settings\\yourUserID\\my documents\\my
picture"

Before saving to the file, change yourUserID accordingly

then double click the changed file in explorer and click OK when prompted


The above assume your "My document" is in the normal XP location
