Default Directory

[J Rickman]

When I open any document or file I would like the window to go to a default
directory of my choice.

How do I set up this default directory?

Its not clear exactly what you mean, if you refer to Office documents, the
options of the specific Office component allow you to set various defaults

I.e. default directories must be set separately in each app
(e.g. Photoshop, Word, Quattro, etc. Older apps e.g. WordPad
may be not thus configurable, i.e. do not allow us to set a
default filepath.)

By default apps will go to the "My Documents" folder.
For ease just create a folder structure in a location of your choosing
C:\myfiles\word
c:\myfiles\excel
you get the idea
No change the default location of your "My Documents" folder
Right mouse click "My Documents" select properties. change the Target to
C:\myfiles
select move

Sorry...typing to fast...you can type the path in or select move and navigate
to the location you would like
