      MSGID: 2:221/360.0 5e549274       REPLY: 15731.windowsa@1:2320/105 22b8a548       PID: JamNNTPd/OS2 1.3 20191227       TID: GE/2 1.2       CHRS: IBMPC 2       TZUTC: 0200       On 2/23/2020 9:12 PM, between "Ed Vance : All":               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.                            --        Quoted with Reformator/Quoter.
