I know at least someone will feel offended no matter how polite I try to
write my response, hence I try to just repeat the question instead of
responding to the reply (I guess someone who read carefully might notice
what I mean and try to avoid to say out loud):
Is there a way to (re-)set the default projects folder?
And why is it that almost any answer you get when you ask google about
this very topic points to file I mentioned?

Do not change that file, do not touch it.
The file you need, if what you want is define the JDK to use to start
NetBeans, is "etc/netbeans.conf" in the installation directory.

Well, I wrote my mail to soon before even try it myself - as I
have to add: No matter what I put into the mentioned properties
file it doesn't change the default path NB uses. I also tried to
find it in other config files and even in the windows registry -
but had no luck. So, as manual edit a config file referred to on
many resulst found by google, and as there seem no option in the
GUI I can change - how do I change the default folder?

Np, you never need to edit "projectui.properties".

So, as I had to recover from a hard disk crash I had NB 11.2
set up
again but didn't got any dialog about default project folder.
As I got
through google this has to be done manual by editing the file
projectui.properties located in
userhome/appdata/roaming/netbeans/11.2/config/preferences/org/netbeans/modules.
I have found several topics as early as NB 6.x.
Two simple questions:
1) Why and why wasn't there any change since at least NB 6.x?
2) Is there any hidden way to change this via the GUI?
There're several other things the GUI doesn't handle as it
should, for
example allow setting target java version below 6 when a
compiler
version 11 or higher is used, as since v11 compiling is only
supported
down to v6 -> compile failure. Isn't an IDE supposed to give
a developer
some convenience? As far as I got into the overhead Netbeans
require I'm
not sure if it's the right IDE for me - but I couldn't get
Eclipse to
even launch properly, let alone set up a project.
