View Full Version : Explorer, copy to folder


December 5th 03, 10:59 PM
LORETTA, this is a very good question. I have many
different wordprocessing progs on my unit and would like
to do the same. But, I haven't figured out how to do this
yet. If you learn how mail me please. BTW, my favorite is
WordPerfect 10, puts Works to shame.

For programs, you can change the "Start In" folder in the application's
shortcut. Using File> Save should then open in the folder you designated.
Sometimes the shell folders (My Documents, My Pictures, etc) will override
this setting but most of the time it works.
