Is there any way I can set up default folder targets for the Save As command
by adding a code or indicator into the file name or perhaps the folder name?

Can default folder targets be set up in the Windows XP OS for individual
Programs, whether Microsoft or other?

If it cannot be done within the Microsoft Programs or code, is there a
third-party programme or add-in that will achieve this result?

Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can provide. It would be
much appreciated.

The common controls like save or saveas can be called from the activeX
interface to that .dll, but you would need to write an app or script to do
it. Another approach, a shortcut with a command to copy any file dropped on
it to some particular folder, say the C:/myfolder destination would look
like this:

copy %1 c:\myfolder\

The saveas target is persistant, and the last place you opened for saving
will be the default on the next use.

I've found the favorites icon in the saveas menu to be useful.
Takes one extra click, but can potentially save lots of navigating.
