I was able to specify my default file save location, &
consequently the default file that opens when the
application opens, like this:
1. Open the application (in this case Word)
2. Click 'Tools'
3. Click the tab that says 'File Locations'
4. There are choices here. Click 'documents' so it is highlighted
5. Click 'Modify'
6. Now explore using the 'look in' box at the top until
you find the file you want as the default location. Click 'OK'
7. The next time you start this application, when you
choose 'Open' this will be the default file that opens.
Other applications have similar steps that are fairly easy.
I have changed all of my applications to save my work
to our network by default rather than 'my documents'
on my C drive.
