How do we change the default path to another location in
Windows98? In Windows95, the path was whatever
directory you were sitting in when it loaded up. Tried
changing in Windows98, and it always changes back to c:\my
documents. Thanks!

If you are starting it from a shortcut, make sure that the shortcut has the
Start In directory set how you want it. If you are starting it from a menu
item then create a shortcut (with the Start in directory correctly set) and
referece the shortcut fromthe menu item. If that doesn't work, try starting
a file instead of a folder. Create a blank file with the correct extension
for Notepad (.TXT should be OK, unless you've changed it) and start that
instead of notepad. Make the file read-only so you ar reminded to change
the name before saving.

If none of this works, check out the many good free text editor utilities
that are available for download - some of them ar sure to be configurable
for the default file folder.
