Guest Maff Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 When save -as is opened the folder that the current file is from does not open. It opens the last folder that I saved an item to. Any ideas how to change. It always worked before, something changed can't find the correction

To save to the original folder just use SAVE. --- Leonard Grey Errare humanum est "A Day in the Life of a Web 2.0 Hacker" - PC Magazine http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2330952,00.asp
Guest ju.c Posted October 15, 2008 Posted October 15, 2008 Re: Saving file to folder If you want to reset the Save-as location, just delete this registry key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU] I created this reg file to run at start-up that sets my own locations for Save-as. It can be complicated to create, but is worth it.

Some have options you can set for this kind of thing, some don't. -- Tim Slattery MS MVP(Shell/User) Slattery_T@bls.gov http://members.cox.net/slatteryt
Guest Leonard Grey Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Re: Saving file to folder Aha...I see Murphy is active in this newsgroup as well. Some background: I am the real Leonard Grey. The rude post copied below was not created by me. It was created by a disturbed individual named Murphy. Murphy is a very angry person, and he is apparently suffering side effects from taking Rimonabant (brand name: Zimultri, produced by Sanofi-Adventis.) . Rimonabant is an anti-obesity drug that has been documented by the United States FDA to cause severe depression. Murphy's game is to try to impersonate people in these newsgroups, and then make rude and even revolting posts in their names. He's done it to nass, he's done it to me, and to others. Unfortunately, there's nothing anyone can do about it, AFAIK. It's not hard to tell the difference between posts made me - the real me - and Murphy's impersonation. I do not normally post to this newsgroup, and I won't post to this thread again, so any other posts in this thread that have my name on them are coming from Murphy. To the OP and all others who have genuinely tried to help: I'm sorry this mess has gotten in the way of your getting the answer you need. --- Leonard Grey Errare Humanum Est Leonard Grey wrote: > > That's completely normal for SAVE AS.
