Changing the default save location of things from Documents

[DexterityFlux]

Hello all!

I was always wondering,

Is there some way that I can change the default save location of things? For instance.. Games... Virtual machines.. I want JUST documents to be in documents rather then a bunch of BS stuff. If I make a folder in documents like "BS Folder" and put everything I don't want in there then it confuses the software.

Is there anyway I can change something or work around it so when I click Documents in the start menu a select folder pops up that is full of stuff I want it to be full of.

Hopefully that makes sense..

As you can see in the photo.. I want stuff like that out of my Documents and somewhere else.

Thanks!

It sounds to me like you are talking about the Documents library and that you have folders "included" in this library that you do not want to be included anymore. Is this correct?

Yes exactly.

There are 2 ways to do this that I know of. I think the easiest way is to expand the Documents library in the left-hand pane, right-click the unwanted folder in the Documents library and then choose "Remove location from library".

You can also click the blue link at the top of the Documents library where it says the number of locations. Click it, and then in the little window that comes up you get to add and remove any folder you want.
