All apps defalt to "My Documents" folder when opening or saving

I'm on a small network. All applications default to "My documents" folder
when opening or saving files. AutoCAD cannot "remember" any settings or even
create or import user profiles. I have a feeling my so called "IT" guy is
messing with me but when I ask him about this he just plays dumb. Help!
Please?
 
Usually, an industry program like AutoCAD would have somewhere in the
Preferences/Options where you can specify a default location.

The other options include Registry Hacks (good luck with that), or, if you
want to save all files to one directory, just make your "My docs" folder
point to that one directory.

I really doubt that IT is messing with your settings behind your back - some
programs just don't support this.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't really explain this very well or completely.
None of the apps I use retain any "recent document" history and just as an
example, AutoCAD (and any other apps) will not even default back to directory
I'm saving to when saving multiple times in the same session. I'm just using
AutoCAD as an example and I have checked the options. They look to be set
"normally" to me. All apps are pretty much behaving this way.

Thanks again
