About the default working folder
 

Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some languages.

The My Documents folder is the default working folder for all your Microsoft Office documents and files. The My Documents folder is located at the root directory (root folder: The folder on a drive from which all other folders branch. The root folder's name consists of a single backslash character (\). For example, on drive C, this folder would be represented in the file system as C:\.) by default, but you can move it to a different location on your computer and even change its name to something more meaningful.
