Default File Location not working

**treymass** · 04-19-2013, 04:15 PM

Hi. I'm using Excel 2010. When I go into the Excel Options, to the Save option and try to type in a specific network drive in the Default File Location: box, I click OK and then it doesn't save the changes. I close Excel down all the way and then restart a new Excel session and it keeps going back to "Libraries\Documents\..."

My Help Desk can't seem to find an answer to this. It doesn't seem to be just related to Excel...having the same issue in Word and Access 2010 as well.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Trey

sounds like a permissions issue-you can't write to the registry-or a group policy overriding your settings

I have access to that drive. I create and save new files there all the time. I also maintain hundreds of files in that very location. That being said, do you think it would still be a permissions issue?

Thanks,
