Can anyone guide me as to how to open a directory of my choice say
when i want to open a file in word or excel. When i click 'open' it
always goes to 'mydocuments' folder. What i want is that when i click
'open' I want it to go the folder of my choice say 'cargo' folder.
Obviously in Windows2000.

Both Word and Excel have a setting for this. Try asking
the question in a Word/Excel newsgroup - that's where
you will find the experts on these topics.

THANK U MR. WLATERIUS AND PEGASUS.
I MENTIONED IT AS EXCEL OR WORD FOR EXAMPLE. BUT THE QUESTION IS
PERTAINING TO WINDOWS 2K ONLY. LIKE ANY APPLICATION FOR EXAMPLE
OUTLOOK EXPRESS, I JUST WANT TO OPEN IN THE FOLDER I WANT TO. I CAN
BE GIVEN FISH OR TEACH ME FISHING--THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.

The answer is still the same: It depends on the application.
OE in fact is quite specific about the location of its mail
files, and the boys in the OE newsgroup would be glad
to help you.
By the way, please do not post all in upper case. It's hard
to read and it's called "shouting" in newsgroups. People
do not like being shouted at.
