Hello:

I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this on the
MSKB so I hope someone might be able to help me out a
little.

Is there a regedit to change the save location on a users
computer besides my computer or my docs? I need the 'save
to' to default to her mapped network drive then a specific
folder. E.g.

I:\Sample\Sample2

Let me know if you have a question or need clarification.

Thank you!

That may depend on the application and if/how/where MRU (most
recently used) locations are stored and how those are used by the
application...

In general though you may want to look at the location defined by the
"Personal" valuename in the registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\Shell Folders\

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
\User Shell Folders\

Personal=
(note that one is REG_SZ and one REG_EXPAND_SZ type. And that this
is HKCU)

Also note that it is posible that this change may cause problems when
set to a romote location if that location is or becomes unavailable.

Pre-export of keys and/or full registry backup advised before
altering anything.
