Surely there's a system setting somewhere that allows you to alter the default application and document settings? In Windows there are registry settings for all the appropriate system-defined folders and if you change the setting in the registry, all applications will then honor that choice. That's the way you get rid of C:\My Documents, if you don't like that (as I don't; what was wrong with "Documents" as a folder name:?), or how you move your default program installation folder to a different volume. -- David W.
