I've changed the default location to a specific folder where I want my files saved, and it stayed for one file save. Now, when I try to save, the default location is back to the "Documents" folder. Checked the default location, and it shows what I changed it to, but still not saving by default there - I still have to navigate to that folder from the save menu (a long and laborious process, I might add). Why isn't this working? BTW - I'm using Windows 7, Home Premium and Office 2010. Like juriann and h krishnan, this isn't working for me.

I am a teacher and save a TON of stuff to my "jump" drive. It was taking me forever to navigate to where I needed my stuff saved. Now I just click save as and it brings me right to my "jump" drive.

I support over 2000 desktops, so my questions is what is the quickest way of performing this on that many machines?
