    In Windows 10 when I save a file, how do I get it to save to the last folder I saved a file to?


    When saving excel, word pdf files etc., I have to scroll through explorer to select the folder to save the file to. Sometimes I am saving several files consecutively to the same folder and each time I must go through the process of searching for that folder. In previous versions of windows, the save as path would default to the last save as path used. How do I set that up in windows 10? The quick access feature is not helpful since it is not always the same folders I am saving to. Thanks

    :)

    Saves log files ?

    You can either read the files in Windows or my preferred method is.....

    Download CCcleaner from here...........

    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

    You can then run cleaner, you will see the log files listed, then if you right click you can save as a text file and then have a read. You may also get an "error reporting" log listed seperatly.
