[QUOTE="Morgan19, post: 449154, member: 4243"] Hopefully I can describe this so it makes sense... A couple days ago my Mac started acting funny in file boxes– by file box I mean the dialog box that pops open when you do File > Open, or File > Save As, etc. It defaults to my users\documents folder every single time I do one of those actions, regardless of what I'd done before. So let's say I'm working on a document, and want to save it. I'll do an option+S to save it, the window comes up in users\documents, I navigate to where I want to save it, and save. Now the next time I go to "save as" the document, before this week that dialog box would've started in the location I last saved the file– now, it defaults back to users\documents [I]every single time[/I]. Needless to say, this is incredibly annoying and adds precious time to my process every time I want to open or save a file. I've tested it and just about all of my programs seem to be having that problem: Word, Photoshop, Indesign, etc. I can't think of anything I've done this week to suddenly make it act up like that. Can anyone think of why it'd be doing this, and what I might do so it remembers last locations again? (I'm currently running OS 10.4.9.) Thanks, m19 [/QUOTE]
