Vista tends to default of c:\users\you\documents for almost
everything, regardless of what the same programs might have done in
previous versions of MS-windows. Very annoying "feature" and no doubt
due to Vista's alleged security improvements.

Do you want to move YOUR c:\users\you\documents folder? Or do you want
it to remember another folder as the default? You can do the former, I
don't think the latter is going to fly unless someone knows a registry
hack. You might be able to drag the documents folder elsewhere and
have it follow it as it did in previous versions of Windows - I have
not tried that.
