Hi Sharon, In Windows XP, WordPad saves just like Notepad, however, in Windows 7 it does not, so you must select the location each time. Apparently WordPad follows the same rules as Office. If you wish to create a new document in a specific folder, while in that folder, go to the file menu, and then enter on New, and review your choices. HTH, Rick Justice

Notepad always goes to last visited folder but Wordpad always goes to Documents and I would like it to go to the Dropbox folder.

If you save a document and change the default folder for that document in a particular application then that folder remains open until you close that application. Once that application is reopened then it will revert back to the original default folder. The only way to change the default folder permanantly for saving is to go to tools and options and change it there. ********************************************* Have questions about that IPhone, IPad or IPod Touch?

Once the application is closed and then reopened, it reverts back to the original default location. ********************************************* Have questions about that IPhone, IPad or IPod Touch?

Once you have selected a location, that usually becomes the default. So the next time you save something in the same application,it will be in the last location you saved something to. It is for this reason that I save everything to one location, and then move it later .

Can anyone guide me in changing the destination.
