windows 10 default save location

I would like to force windows 10 every time I try to save a new documents, file, to not show me by default ths My Documents folder but rather a subfolder that I have named MyLibrary. I tried already changing in registry the %USERPROFILE%\Documents to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\MyLibrary but the problem was that applications like outlook did not really started after that and I had to turn it back to the default to value. Regards Alex

  • As taken from here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/change-default-save-location-windows-10

    Also here: http://windowsreport.com/set-default-save-location-windows-10/

    Open Start Menu > Settings > System settings.

    Next, click on Storage in the left pane.

    Scroll down a bit and find Save locations.

    Here you will see New documents will save to setting – and similar settings for Music, Pictures & Videos.

    Select the location from the drop-down menu.

    Thus you can set different Save locations for different types of files.
