Default A question re corruption

Quite a lot has been written about avoiding corruption of documents, and
one piece of advice has been "do not save to A: from Word (though from
Explorer is okay). I habitually save to a memory stick/flash drive in
drive E and I would like to automate this with a VBA macro. Does anyone
have any information on why saving to A: from Word causes corruption,
and more importantly whether or not saving to E: poses the same danger?
Alternatively (and OT) is it possible to write a VBA (or other) Macro to
invoke this procedure from a hot key while in Windows Explorer (where I
currently do this manually)?

TIA
