If you’re anything like me then you have your own system of organizing your files. I’ve always partitioned my hard disk and I would always have my “data” folder. So it irritates me like crazy when I work on new document and the save keeps defaulting to My Documents (or Documents in Windows 7).
The good news though is that there is a way to change the default folder. And all you have to do is (using Windows 7)…
- Click on the Start button
- Right click on Documents
- Click on Include a folder… then choose the folder you want your file saved in, this will then appear under Library locations
- Now click on the your chosen folder then click on Set save location
That’s it!
As an added bonus, if you want to see the contents of the folder as the first item in your Documents list, just click on your chosen folder and drag it to the top of the list. Ta-da!
