We all know how to change the default directories in Office. I have looked EVERYWHERE and can't figure this one out.

Of course, it's someone else's question and I'm stumped.

??? I'm confused. You don't mean Tools Options ......

I thought each office product had it's own default, so I looked in the registry and found these values (on my PC).

XL97
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Excel\Microsoft Excel]
"DefaultPath"="D:\\GDrive\\Shipments"

WORD97
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\Word\Options]
"DOC-PATH"="D:\\GDRIVE\\"

PPoint97
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\8.0\PowerPoint\Recent Folder List\Default]
@="D:\GDrive"
