I think the "Save As..." default directory comes from either 1) the current directory the notebook you're working on is in; or, if it's a brand new document 2) the last place you "Save as.."ed a new file to (as stored in Options[$FrontEnd,NotebookBrowseDirectory]. So, if you want to change the location that gets used in the "Save As..." dialog, just save one file there. That's how it works for me, anyway. I guess that since you're asking, though, that's not how it works for you. Lev
