There are many ways to share files between people and devices. With these 15 tools, you can share files quickly without app downloads, account registrations, or any cloud storage setups. Karkala Nayak. Is this related to the above question? B Go to step 4. Open the library ex: Music that you want to set the default save included folder for.
A Click on the Locations toolbar button. Click on OK. NOTE: You will notice that the new default save location folder has a check mark next to it. Close the library window when done. NOTE: You will not see this if you did step 2 instead of step 3.
That wasn't the guy's question. I have the same problem and, okay, my Mac at home does this automatically for me I keep looking for a setting to do this. I have the same quesiton. Share Share Tweet Email.

Now what should the MS team really do - but set up a Skunk Works. Unlike the original purpose that Lockheed had, this team should compose of none indoctrinated MS personnel to pull the projects apart. The freedom not to work under the MS umbrella would allow largely detached and objective thought. This team could work at speed and foster ideas and kill processes that are not justified - there's a thing about trying to be too clever you usually fall flat on your face.
It isn't that their current solution is unwanted for some it may help but for most people they didn't see the need for the change - so the question is why did they? Find the answer to that and you will find the answer to "what is wrong with their dev process"!
End of Rant. IsaacClarke Win7 Pro 64bit - 3. Please list what program you're trying to save data from, and the sequence you're going through to see the problem. Something's specifically wrong with your system, because it doesn't work that way on all systems. Maybe an add-on is forcing your default folder or something. For example, from within IE9 when I right-click a Photo and choose Save Picture As, it just brings up the location I last saved something into, as shown here:. Have you tried running IE without Add-ons to see if this behavior is changed?
If it's any consolation, I've created a virtual machine with a bone stock Windows 7 installation and a fresh update to IE9, and I can reproduce the behavior you describe. Now I'm working on trying to figure out specifically what setting I've configured or option I've set that makes IE9 save wherever I last saved to, instead of defaulting to the Pictures library.
I don't recall one that does exactly that, but the change in behavior must be tied to one of the many I've tweaked. When I was trying it by starting the 32 bit Internet Explorer from the pinned icon from the Taskbar in my test virtual machine, it would behave as you have described - always defaulting to the Pictures entry under Libraries. My host and test VM are both 64 bit Windows 7 installations, and on a hunch I just tried it with the x64 build of Internet Explorer After right-clicking, choosing Save picture as But when I close and restart IE again it reverts back to the Pictures library entry for the next image save operation, which is still different from what I'm seeing on my host Windows 7 system, where it always defaults to the last folder on the next run.
I thought I was onto something with the 32 vs. Is this the same for you, or have I managed to trigger half of the desired behavior already? I have not yet determined what it is that on my host Windows 7 system causes IE9 to remember Save As locations across browser sessions, but it definitely does so.
I'm now going through the settings I've documented in my book to see which of them evokes the desired behavior. Hm, on further examination of my host system in the process of trying to get to the bottom of this, it appears that if I close each and every IE9 window, then wait a little while until all iexplore. Apparently I typically just keep enough IE9 sessions running all the time that I have not noticed the behavior you describe. The question of whether you could possibly use this as even a workaround seems to come down to: Do you see it revert back to the Pictures entry under Libraries even in the same session after you have successfully saved an image in a non-default folder?
In my case, I have disabled Tabbed browsing because that is my preference and that may have changed the way I see it work as compared to you - I always start a new browser window where you might just open a new tab. But after doing a bunch of testing I'll say this: I originally misspoke a bit - under some conditions and I'm not completely sure I understand what they all are , I sometimes DO see the same thing you do. But under other conditions I see the Save Picture As This may be because they're doing something funky where they're doing rendering in a 32 bit process even though I start IE10 with the 64 bit iexplore.
I suggest that if you got some benefit out of this forum that you give back to the forum by posting your workaround here. I'm sure the other folks above would be interested in learning it. Maybe I'll answer. Please share the knowledge. I've been researching this problem for days and no one has a fix or workaround. I would greatly appreciate the answer and I know there are millions of user would like to have an answer. Every time it's 7 mouse clicks and lots of frantic mouse-wheel scrolling I just wanted to let you know that it worked for me on all three Windows 7 clients I tested it on.
It appears in many programs, and selecting the last place shows many recent places in alphabetic order, so I have to reorder that before getting back to the catalog. I assume that anyone using their own catalog structure must hit this problem all the time, so it is really hard to notice. Perhaps if you go on with suggested recommendation and do not change proposed catalogs you do not see it.
Repeating the same sequence 10 times should let the system know what I am trying to do, save in the same catalog! MSFT quit putting their laundry in droars.. This is about as brainless as buying a gps to goto the store Microsoft ive been with you since the late 80's.. Ive considered other OS's since win 7 came out.
I've lost countless cumulative hours of productivity repeatedly navigating through folder trees every single time I need to open or save any file within Microsoft Office applications. Other publishers Adobe, Corel, Mozilla, etc. With FileBox eXtender at last I can avoid tediously clicking through every branch of the folder tree every time I insert a picture etc.
I have the same problem, but Filebox eXtender doesn't solve it. It opens folders in an easy way, but doesn't do anything for the save-as irritation.
I have never needed as many clicks as now in W I put a shortcut to this conversation on my desktop, hoping the miracle will happen. I have this same problem in ALL programs. Word, indesign, whatever. Now it sends me to some far-away folder where I saved something else it remembered!! And I did hit save, not "save as". Word is supposed to autosave every 10 minutes, makes me wonder if that still works - and how.
So far I didn't find lost in-between-autosaved documents scattered everywhere, you'd expect that. Probably the autosave doesn't work either.
I save often in-between edits, so I have a huge lot of ridiculous extra work. I've noticed that the last place you saved something from Internet Explorer , specifically, seems to be the place most other programs default to next time you attempt a File - Save As. It's not right, however it works, because like you I find it to be wrong more often than right. Not that I imagine anyone's going to be willing or able to fix it.
It gets especially irritating when I go to save something to the SSD, and the hard drive has to spin up before I can even access the dialog to change the folder. With a given UI most of us try to anticipate how it's going to work, then adjust our own workflows to best fit within that scheme. The way THIS setup works, it's not really obvious what's happening, so it's difficult to anticipate, and thus difficult to use adeptly. I agree with everyone else, this new Windows 7 "save as" is a total nightmare, complete waste of time, you have to spend soooooo long, each save, looking for, and then drilling down to the folder you want to save in.
You get the feeling that the programmers don't actually USE "save as" and indeed why would they? Programming isn't an activity that calls for a lot of document saving, so having messed it up, they just have no idea what we're all talking about.
I can find the key location you specified, but I'm not sure what changes you are suggesting I make when there - which permissions should I be denying, and who should have the permission denied? Right after applying some Windows Updates, my Windows 7 stopped remembering the last directory I used to saved.
I tried many different things to try and correct this situation, however, none of then worked. In order to determine if this was a Windows 7 or an Internet Explorer 9 problem, I switched browsers to Mozilla Firefox and bingo, the functionality to remember the last folder used to save files is back.
I have the same problem since upgrading to Win 7. It's such an odd thing not to carry forward from XP. I've researched this and it's a known issue that Microsoft for one reason or another hasn't yet determined it's worth looking at. Not a huge issue but multiply this by millions of people, over many years and it's entire lifetimes spent designating a files location every time you save something.
In Adobe reader Regardless if I saved one and then immediately follow with another, and regardless if it was network or local folder anyways, it makes me navigate through the ENTIRE tree click, click, click, click MS Word does appear to remember last saved location Unless you close it and then it defaults back to "Documents".
Had the same problem, last location isn't saved and the next time not used. Following trick fixed it for me - remove all entries under the following key:. Are you sure that if I remove the 19 items, that it 1. The short answer is that Windows 7 -- and 8 and 10 and the eventual web-based version -- no longer supports this functionality by design.
These KB notes BTW are for getting rid of this capability so Microsoft was clearly telegraphing its intentions had anyone been watching. But then who would have thought Microsoft would pull the rug out from under them on such a useful and easy-to-implement feature, eh? Sad, isn't it? The king is dead.
Long live the king. There seems to be a trend amongst the software giants that you do as we tell you or we will screw your productivity. I have given up trying to calculate how much TIME and wasted effort this extreme irratant is causing me both personally and at work and can only guess at the warped brains which produced this nightmare not as nightmarish as Windows 8 but that's another story.
Some may but an increasing number of others will not. OK, the 'Save As' irratant isn't the end of the world in terms of killing a product dead, unlike W8, but it sure makes people wonder why bother upgrading if any new product makes you less and less efficient. Greetings all. I've just come across this self same problem. Been working "fine" for a year or so, but suddenly, unaccountably so, has now broken on the accounts PC.
The accountant had a breakdown, as hen relies on the last save as folder being remembered as each statement is saved. There are a few hundred clients, so having to located the folder from scratch each time is a productivity killer of epic proportions. I implemented the suggested registry fix deleting keys as above and that fixed it. But it breaks again every now and again. So I have now hacked together a script to do this automatically. Later all, thanks for the input.
I won't throw in anything more than my 2c opinion that this really really should be a standard feature that just works. It's such a common requirement. Too bad you had to complain about someone's misspelling, yet somehow you feel comfortable with your own misuse of punctuation and assembly of nonsense character combinations.
I totally agree with notlikinms, why does Word not remember the last location used for "save as" anymore? It was a handy feature and you should definitely bring it back. What was the logic behind removing it? If you listen to users feedback I think you should listen to this one. I have been saving to last saved location with photo viewer in Windows 7 since purchase in I know from certain programs on-line if the number of downloaded files saved via the download folder but nevertheless sent to my previously saved location exceeded I would only get as far as the Downloads folder in that save to path, so I would have to clean out those and go at it again, no problems for another However recently I reset my computer to factory settings other slow down issues.
Again I was able to follow the consecutive saves as above. But I noticed many new things and removed what I thought were a lot of useless programs, also that the files all look like mini pictures now instead of JPG blue icons.
I assumed this was sucking up active memory so I switched the feature back to icons but maybe I read a warning that this could not be undone. Anyway, somewhere along the line the save to last location feature was lost even with an empty download folder. Now this save is not a "Save", or "Save as" from a mouse click I remember that one and it also used to work very well. For some years? Without finding any satisfactory solution here or elsewhere, I simply restored to just after the factory reset, and voila the feature was back in charge.
Then I will restore to a previous date again. I hope some of these steps are helpful to someone, maybe even someone at Microsoft who reads these articles for fun or sadistic pleasure.
This was bugging me too Then it hit me Folder options! Under the Navigation pane, check the "Automatically expand to current folder" box and Apply. My problem is definitely related and I have read most all of these posts so I am not sure if what I need is the same or different solution.
This is especially annoying when I am only trying to rename the file to a name that is "active" in many different folders. I will get the warning about 'overwriting' but in some cases I want to overwrite. In others it is a file opened in the graphics folder for "Website A" and it ends up overwriting that same graphic of the same name in that folder of "Website M" or whatever folder was used the last time i clicked "Save As".
Careful monitoring can save the day but it is so easy to make an accident especially when the file does NOT overwrite a fle by same name in a different folder. But it instead is now lost in the many website graphics folders. This would help but it would also be nice to be able to set the location desired to be used for BOTH Save and Save as to whatever i wanted maybe by editing a registry key at the start of any graphics session. Keeping the files all saved into at least somewhere in the same website would be helpful.
I see Someone did mention changing registry keys but i do not see the keys to change nor the values used so I assume Microsoft decided to Delete that? Interesting that meee's posts detailing his fix were removed - presumably by Microsoft?
