Changing primary storage parameters

Hi

Sadly not all applications support changing of the default save locations, but you can move the My Douments various folders in XP and Vista

Saves my typing http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/...folder-default-location-path-in-xp-and-vista/

As for other applications if they dont save to this new location you have chosen above you'll need to check their options settings for ways to change,

Microsoft Office can do this and any of the apps apart from Outlook as files are saved in a .pst via....

• Office 2003
  Open the app say Word and click Tools > Options > General then in the Default file location box type or copy and past the new default file location you want.
  
• Office 2007
  Click the Orb > Word Options (will be different fist name for other apps Excel etc) then click Save in the left hand menu and in the default file location box type or copy and paste the new file location.

For Outlook I personally would leave in default location but you can move it via

• Outlook 2007 ~ Tools > Options > Mail Setup tab and then click Email tab > Change Folder.
  
• Outlook 2003 ~ http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook/HA011265401033.aspx (not got Office 2003 installed to test location if its in same menu as Office 2007 as doing the Office 2003 steps from memory)

For other installed apps you have try using a search engine and type something like.... change default save location or path to XXXX ....... where XXXX is the app in question.
