    Standard Saving Location


    So i wanted to change my standard saving location to my D: drive since i'm not able to download something on to it in Microsoft Store without it. If i hit apply a message pops up telling me that i have to delete every app on the drive before i can change it. There are games on my D: drive i really dont want to re'install because they are very huge. All i want to know is if theres any way to change the Standard save location without having to delete the apps.

    :)

    Tweaking Save Menu to show "Network" as a save location?

    As I replied to you in your previous thread [using your RetratsRevo username], that is not a standard SaveAs dialog.

    If that is all your unnamed application can provide, if the unnamed application's publishers cannot suggest a workaround and if they do not have a user forum then I suggest you search on the name of the unnamed application to see if anybody else has worked out a way of doing it.

    This is a standard Windows SaveAs dialog

  3. Default location to save documenets

    Hi Frank,

    Sorry for the delayed response.

    From your recent description, it seems like the issue is confined to Word documents. If true, then follow the steps below and check if it helps.

    • Launch Word application.
    • Go to File Menu and select Options.
    • In the pop-up dialog box, towards the left pane, select Save.
    • Under Default location file, browse the location you want to save.
    • Check if the issue persists.

    Hope this helps.
