By default Word 2007 and Word 2010 save documents in the My Documents folder. If you want to save Word documents in a different location, you can change this default. The procedure is similar for Word 2007 and Word 2010. We used Word 2007 as an example and pointed out the differences in Word 2010.
To change the default save location and file format, click the Office button.
NOTE: In Word 2010, click the File tab.
On the Office menu, click the Word Options button.
NOTE: In Word 2010, click Options in the list on the left side of the File tab.
The Word Options dialog box displays. Click Save in the list on the left side of the dialog box.
In the Save documents section on the right side of the dialog box, click the Browse button to the right of the Default file location edit box.
The Modify Location dialog box displays. Navigate to the folder in which you want to save Word documents by default. Click OK.
The path to the selected folder is automatically inserted into the Default file location edit box.
If you need to share your Word documents with others who are using older versions of Word, you can change the file format selected by default when you save your Word documents. To change the default file format to the format supported by Word versions 97 through 2003, select Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc) from the Save files in this format drop-down list.
To close the Word Options dialog box, click OK.
Now, when you save your documents, the folder selected in the Save in edit box and the default Save as type reflect the changes you made.
If you need to save specific files in a different location or as a different file type, you can still change the location where you save the file and the file format on the Save As dialog box for each file. The values you changed are only default initial values and can be changed, if needed.
Avoid Saving Remote Desktop Credentials in Windows 7
Posted: 17 Nov 2010 06:50 PM PST
Remote Desktop Connection in Windows allows you to log on to any remote PC and access all of the programs, files, and network resources as though you were actually sitting in front of the remote computer.
We have previously written about accessing a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 computer remotely (see our post, Remotely Accessing a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 Computer). You can also remotely log onto a Windows 7 computer in a similar way.
However, in Windows 7, Remote Desktop Connection saves your Remote Desktop credentials, by default. This can be a security hazard, especially if you share the computer you are using to log onto the remote computer. This post explains how to disable the setting that allows Windows to save your credentials.
To access Remote Desktop Connection, open the Start menu, select All Programs, open the Accessories folder, and click on Remote Desktop Connection.
On the General tab on the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box, there is a check box called Allow me to save credentials. Turning this check box on, allows you to tell Windows, when you provide your credentials on the next dialog box, to save the credentials you enter.
To close the Remote Desktop Connection without connecting to a remote computer, click the X button in the upper, right corner of the dialog box.
To remove the ability of Windows to save your credentials when you log into a remote computer, click the Start button and enter “gpedit.msc” (without the quotes) in the Search programs and files box. When Windows finds the gpedit.msc file, either press Enter or click the resulting link.
The Local Group Policy Editor dialog box displays. In the tree in the left pane, navigate to the following item:
User Configuration | Administrative Templates | Windows Components | Remote Desktop Services
Select the Remote Desktop Connection Client item under Remote Desktop Services. In the Setting list on the right, double-click on the Do not allow passwords to be saved setting.
On the dialog box that displays, select the Enabled radio button.
Click OK to close the dialog box for the Do not allow passwords to be saved setting.
To close the Local Group Policy Editor dialog box, select Exit from the File menu.
The Allow me to save credentials check box on the Remote Desktop Connection dialog box is still available. However, when you connect and you are asked for your credentials, you will not be able to tell Windows to remember the credentials you enter.
