Default Directory for Utilities like Notepad or by extension type
This is a nuisance item but I wondered if there was a place to set these other than doing each as they come up.
Example would be creating a shortcut for notepad. I have always made one on every system in every version of windows and never had this problem. The default starting directory is system32 so every note you make when saved tries to go there and i have to correct it. I finally noticed that this default directory was actually named in the properties of the shortcut so that fix was done.
But i do not remember ever having to do that before? It seems that when done previously, the notepad items either went to the current location or maybe to documents but never to system32 (which is the location of the program notepad.exe).
I can understand WHY it happens, but is there a way to specify that it NOT happen like that? In the case of notepad, what would be most helpful is for it to save at the location currently in focus. If I am on desktop when I create it, I would want it on desktop. If i am in some sub-folder, i would want it there instead.
Others like paint, i would probably want the same "save to current location" as i would need the item later at the same place it was before.
In a similar vein, can i set all .png files to go to a specific folder? And same for other file types?
