    EV> When I write a.TXT or.RTF file in NotePad or WordPad and   
    EV> want to Save it, XP "Remembers" the Sub-Directory I recently   
    EV> used and wants to put it there.   
      
   Actually, I think it is the program that "remembers" the last used directory,   
   not XP.   
      
   When I use Notepad to open a previous file in a particular directory, it will   
   Save it in that same directory.  Save As.. behaves the same way.   
      
   Wordpad behaves the same way for me.   
      
   When you open the apps first, and create a new document, the apps use the   
   directory where you last saved a previous file.   
      
   That seems rather convenient, for me.   
      
      
    EV> I don't want it "there" so I have to change where XP wants   
    EV> it to go, to where I want it to go.   
      
   Easy, use Save As.., then you have the option to put it somewhere else.   
      
      
    EV> Lots of times I forget to look where my newly written file   
    EV> will be Saved To, and later have to look around the recent   
    EV> Sub-Directories I have remembered using recently to find   
    EV> that File.   
      
   Easy, use the My Recent Documents.. option in the Start menu.  As you hover   
   over each document in the list, you will see a bubble pop-up that reveals the   
   location.   
      
      
    EV> Is there any Setting I could change to get XP to quit   
    EV> Remembering recently used Sub-Directories?   
      
   Save As.. seems to be your best bet.  Then you can "put" the document wherever   
   you want.
