I've got a laptop and desktop set up on a home network. When I do a "Save As" on my laptop, it always goes to my desktop instead - same thing with File-Open. Its defaulting to the other machine. I've tried changing the options in word for saving files, but it still does it... what am I doing wrong?

Thanks

yeah ive had that before but if you clean out the MRU (most recently used) lists it'll fix the problem.

I use Crap cleaner for that but there are tons of others.

Thanks.... I use crap cleaner frequently and it hasn't changed the prob - maybe I don't have it set right, I'll check - but I'm assuming its some kind of default thats set wrong? No?

I dont know what causes it but ccleaner has always fixed it for me.

if its office 2k7 then this might work

and apparently you can do it with a Gp for 2k7

Thanks again... I'll try those links, but I've got Office 2003. Just ran ccleaner again and the recently used files wasn't checked, so I checked it. Maybe I need to restart afterwards or something
