OK the "crew" in this Group is good!

This is not strictly an XL issue but I have never
obtained any answer in other MS Groups. I know many of
you know the yea/ney answer to the following:

How can one change the default Open/Save folders in the
XP O/S? Not possible?

I do realize that "within a session" the defaults change
to the last folder.

Thanks in advance!
 
In excel (and other Office programs), you can do something like
Tools|Options|General Tab
Change the entry in the "Default File Location" box.

But each program (even within office) is slightly different--but close.
 
This is not an O/S function, but is application specific:

In Excel and Access: Tools|Options|General
In Word: Tools|Options|File Locations
In MS Project and PowerPoint: Tools|Options|Save

Non Microsoft applications most likely have there own methods.
