Saving files where I want them

[James Lambert]

Sir:
I am having a terrible time saving files. They never go where I want them so  
that I can load them again. They go to Skydrive, skydrive.old, never to  
thispc/documents. How can I specify where I  want files saved?
The only way I can find them is by doing a search with “windows C” and clicking 
on search. I cannot always remember the exact file name. I want the files to 
always go to ThisPC/Documents and  they seldom do.
