How do you change teh default "Save As..." location of My Pictures

[Guest]

I have a very large slave drive and have bazillions (a technical term) of
pictures. When I download a picture with the "save picture as..." or "save
as..." drop-down, it always goes to the My Documents location on the master
drive. Is there anyway to make the default saving location for "My Pictures"
on the SLAVE drive? If I just move the folder there, fine, but it still
defaults every time I boot to the master drive location.

Maybe placing a shortcut to your slave drive
in your My Pictures folder would be an option.

Otherwise, one can re-map the systerm folders such as My Pictures to
anywhere other than default folders using TweakUI.

When you run it go to My Computer -> Special folders from the right hand
menu.
