Change Default Drive for Saving Files, How

My files are stored to default file (C/Documents & settings). I would
prefer to save to another drive and keep all my data together and not with my
programs.

I cannot find a way to set with 2007 as I was in 97-2003

Would appreciate any help anyone can give.

Thanks
Shaw

Not sure which Office 2007 application you're talking about. But, for Word
2007, click the Office button, Word Options, Save tab, Default file
locations:. Other Office 2007 applications have similar but independent file
location settings.

Your data is all together, in the Documents folder
The documents folder can be located on another drive, how you do so depends
on your version of win

I am using XP Pro. Any help would be appreciated as I now have the default
on C: Drive and my desired one with all my old data files.

I am using XP Pro. My new data is now on C: Drive and all of my preexisting
data in on another drive, which is where I desire.
Thanks

Assuming data in My Documents, rt click desktop icon>Properties>Move
eg from C\ to D\My Documents
And if you use Outlook, the data files (*.pst's) can be relocated
(ensure any Archive settings point to the new location)
