| | Default Location for opening files Hi, is there a way to have Vista remember the previous folder that you opened? It is defaulting to My Documents instead of the previous folder that I was using. Thanks! -- Jackie |

| | Re: Default Location for opening files Hi, Jackie. First, Vista uses a different structure from WinXP. It doesn't use "My Documents" at all, except as necessary for compatibility with older programs, to point them to the new folder in the Vista structure. Probably something like C:\Users\<Jackie - or whatever user name you use>\Documents.. Second, in what program and in what way are you opening the folders? In Windows Explorer? Or in Word? Or Excel? Or some other application? For example, I always download files into my E:\Download folder and IE7 always remembers that name - until I choose a different folder, and then it remembers the new folder name until I change it back. Which application is giving you problems? RC -- R. C.
