File > Open - how to point it to a drive, not my docs, PLEASE HELP

[Vijay Mistry]

Hi, I have office 2000 running on my PC. Whether it is Word or Excel,
Powerpoint, when you select File > open, the open dialog box shows "My
documents".
How do I change it so that it points to a paricular drive for example??

I guess I have to change registry keys...any ideas how? which one?

Many thanks
Vijay

Hi Vijay,

In Word you can change the default location through Tools=>Options=>File Locations
