I don't use the My Documents inside inside the Documents and Settings
default folder.

Instead I place a folder off the c: root drive for each web site I'm working on.

Word (and everything else it seems) defaults to My Documents inside Documents &
Settings and each time I save for the first time in a session, I have to change
to the C: drive and select the folder I want to use.

In the File Save box, when I click on the arrow for the drop down list to change
to the root, it ALWAYS takes 10 to 15 seconds for the drop down list to appear.
It's done that on each PC I've used and right now my OS install is only about 2
months old, with little clutter in the Registry. Very annoying of course.

Is there a way to speed that up?
OR
Is there a way to get software to default to the C: drive for saves?
