Windows Forum / Windows XP / New Users / November 2005GRRR..."My Recent Documents"
I really hate this whenever I'm saving a file. If the wrong folder is in the "Save in" field, I click the little down arrow hoping to see the standard list of drives and folders like Desktop, C: drive, My Documents, etc. Instead, it reverts to "My Recent Documents." (That's when the 'GRRR' part comes in.) It happens in the "Look in" field when I choose File > Open, too. Is there a way to force Windows not to display the Recent Documents thing? /oh, please, oh please... Just a thought.........open Windows Explorer, right click on My Documents and select Properties. Make sure the Target path: is correct. Heirloom, old and gotta go to bed >I really hate this whenever I'm saving a file. > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > /oh, please, oh please... Look in.
