default path for save as dialog

[Werner Rohrmoser]

Hello,

no matter what application I use (Outlook, Excel or Word), when I
first use Save As the default file path for the Save As Dialog is
always "My Documents".
Because I prefer to save my files to another folder I would like to
know, how I can change this setting.
I guess it's a setting in the registry.
Thanks.

Best Regards
Werner

Werner,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell
Folders\Personal

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User
Shell Folders\Personal

Change the registry key above to the path you want.
