I have a Dell computer running Widows XP Professional. I got it in August. I've been living with a problem that is driving me nuts. Whenever I try to save any kind of file (image file, document, PDF) I hit "save as" and I get the default "my documents" folder that the machine was set up with.
But I don't want to save there. I usually save temporarily to desktop, then reorganize later. When I try to change the "save to" destination, it takes FOREVER. (well, maybe two minutes). My other computers make the change almost instantly.
It's the same when opening files. When I try to change the location I'm opening from .... long delay. Might as well light a smoke and relace my shoes.
What's up with this? Can I fix it?
Man, I'm going batty.
