Changing default file location in Word 2003

[Rick]

In Word 2003, I'd like to change the File location of my default
directory that I save files into and open from. I click on Tools |
Options | File Locations. I select the Documents filetype and then
click Modify. It brings up the Modify Location dialog and I see a
list of folders. I click on DOCS but it
doesn't insert it into the Folder Name edit box. I click ok and
nothing happens; my default folder is still what I had before.

I'm on a corporate computer; is it possible that I'm being prevented
from changing my default file location?

Yes, I'd say that you're probably being prevented from changing the
settings. Talk to the network administrator.

I do have permissions to modify the registry, and I wonder if these
settings are stored there. If so, can someone tell me what keys in
the registry these are stored in? Or maybe they're stored somewhere
else? Thanks much.
