Saving file to folder

[Guest Maff]

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

That's completely normal for SAVE AS. To save to the original folder

just use SAVE.

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. This is it:

That would depend on the application. Some have options you can set

for this kind of thing, some don't.

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.
