Just an Explorer tip

[stiltman]

Ever notice every time you click on explorer.exe or one of the shortcuts, it always defaults to My Documents? God I hated that...

Change your shortcut to read
%windir%\explorer.exe /e,

Now it will start at the drive letters (my computer highlighted) instead

Sweet tip

Thanks

Now... if I can just figure out .... a majority of my work docs are saved to C:\TEMP (most are temp, to be emialed docs)

But... when I do a file save-as it defaults to the "My Documents" folder... anyway to set a default "save-as local"?

Most of the file save are set within the program you're using.
In MS Word
Tools/Options
File locations tab

If you want to change the default for temp files and such
right click My Computer and select properties
advanced tab
environment variables

you use explorer

much prefer just going through my computer, seems like a more natural flow than the old filemanager system, which is essentially a visual command prompt tree. that's how i see it anyway.
