Default File Location

[Guest]

In PowerPoint 2003

I am attempting to change the default location for saving files to:
c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Shared Documents\PowerPointFiles

I open the 'Options' Dialogue box in the 'Tools' pull down menu. Under the
'Save' tab, I attempt to change the default file location. It will allow me
to change the loctation to: c:\Documents and Settings\All Users
But if I attempt to add the directory: \Shared Documents I get the
message the this is an invalid path or file name. I have double and triple
checked the name and spelling of the folder and I have typed it correctly.

Why can't I change the default file location to the above mentioned location?

In windows explorer navigate to the location you want to save the files then
copy the location from the address bar and paste into the default location
box.
