    Save as dialog box
    « on: November 20, 2008, 05:26:34 AM »
    When i go to "save as" in almost all programs i use it automatically goes to save it in "My Documents". There is also a list of locations on the left listing "My Computer", "My Networks" etc. Because of the work i do and where i decide to save it, i rarely use My Documents and the locations on the left are just the start of a very long path.

    I've been attempting to find away for the dialog box to automatically take me to another folder and to also change the locations on the left. I can write macros for Office to save in my desired locations but obviously this is a less than desirable outcome doesn't bennifit me when using other programs. Any ideas?

    Here  is a solution using Microsoft PowerToys which is a FREE DLoad.

      Thanks Patio i appreciate it. It works great. However it doesn't change every dialog box. For example it doesn't change for any of the office applications which i found a bit strange

      I believe Office has it's own set of PowerToys...
