About the default working folder

Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some languages.

If you are running Microsoft Windows 98, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), or Windows 2000 Professional, the My Documents folder is the default working folder for all your Microsoft Office documents and files. In Windows 98, it appears the first time you open the Open or Save As dialog box in a Microsoft Office application, and when you use the Open Office Document command on the Windows Start menu. If you install the Office Shortcut Bar, the My Documents folder is also the default folder that opens from Open Office Document. The My Documents folder is located at the root directory by default, but you can move it to a different location on your computer and even change its name to something more meaningful.

Note   If you are running Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Workstation, the Personal folder is the default working folder.
