Does anyone know how I can change the default setting which makes the open file dialog box always open up the files in "My Documents" first
Example: When I go to open up a file in Word (or any other prgram for that matter!), it always brings up the "My Documents" folder first and then I have to access the folder where I keep my documents (which is not in "My Documents"). This is not a huge problem obviously and more of an inconvenience but I know it can be done - I just don't know how!
 
"Tools", "Options", "File Locations" TAB. Click the "Modify" button (with
the "Documents" selected) and change the folder and path.

Tools > Options > File Locations, change the value of the Documents item to
the desired folder.
