System Bypassing Folders
 

My employer's computer: Windows NT & Office 2000

My question: Whenever I try to open a saved document or attempt to "save as" while working in MS Word, the window that opens showing the save location jumps past all of the folders and only shows the currently saved files. If I want to save to a folder, I need to scroll back to where the folder is located. There must be a way to prevent this jump from occurring as it doesn't happen at every computer and they all run the same OS and software. Any ideas?

I think you have to go under tools->Options->file locations
and change to what ever you like if I understand you correct
Under Excel same way except it is on tap general and file locations

Good luck

I finally got a chance to look to see if this would work and it doesn't. This is the way to designate the default folder but there are no other settings which determine if if the subfolders are bypassed or not.

Anyone else have a suggestion?

I'm thinking it might be how the files are sorted in the open/save window...in that window, change to details view, sort by name, cancel and try again. I just did it on my system here, and if I had the files sorted by name ascending, it would list the files before the folders. changing to descending made it list the folders 1st.
