Use SetDirectory to set the directory to anywhere you like. SetDirectory["full path here"] Even easier, you can set the directory to the directory where the current notebook is saved to. SetDirectory[NotebookDirectory[]] I often put that statement in an initialization cell at the top of my notebook if I am going to a lot of importing or exporting. -- HPR
