Hi, I'm using XP on both my old and new laptops. In neither case can I
permanently modify the "Start In" command box in Properties. I have tried in
Word, Excel and Access and have tried combinations of e.g. "C:\Docs" C:\Docs
"C:\Docs\" C:\Docs\ and many other. Given that I cant maker it work in either
version of XP then I guess I'm just not doing it right !!

Can anyone help me out of this frustration please

"Documents" on the File Locations tab of Tools | Options.
