Office 2007 not respecting library location in Win7
This is actually a bit more than Office 2007 but the issue is the same (except I know I can set a non-library default location in Office-I just shouldn't have to).
I've changed the location of my Documents library. I created a new folder (*not* buried several layers down in the Users folder), added it to the Documents library, set it as the default save location, then removed all other folders from the library. My Documents library is now the same as my new folder. Period.
Unfortunately Microsoft Office (and some other programs) persist in opening my 'Documents Library' when I save something-but it's not *my* Documents library, it's the default buried in the Users folder. So why doesn't it actually check the library? It makes me wonder if Microsoft really intends people to use libraries or if it's all more smoke & mirrors. Is there something I missed that's still telling programs my Documents library is in the default location? When I open Documents, either from the Start menu or from the Navigation pane in Explorer I get exactly what I expect, my new folder. Only when I'm saving documents from within a program does it mess up. Any suggestions?
