Is there a *global* default I can set to make all files Exported from 
any Mathematic notebook from now on (permanently!) always (in the 
absence of other specific command) go to a default location of my 
choice, on my HD?

Possible choices for this default:

1)  Always to the desktop?

2)  Always to the folder **which contains the notebook which does the 
Exporting**?

3)  Always to a designated folder on my desktop?  (I happen to have such 
a folder, which I call "Downloads"; essentially every other application 
on my laptop -- browser, mail client, newsreader, various editing apps, 
and essentially every other app -- is set so that any web file download, 
any FTP, any Save As,  Print to PDF, or similar command will point to 
this folder; never have to worry about where else to look.)
