Whoops, a little misunderstanding here: I am *pleased* that IrfanView
doesn't save to My Documents, as I don't want it to do that, I want it to
save to where I last told it to save to, which it does. My original problem
was that OE does not use the folder "My Forums" (that I created myself) as
the default I want it to use, and Wolf pointed out that it's probably not
possible to get OE to do this.
You're right about having a structure, though. I have all my own stuff on a
separate hard drive from the operating system and programs, and sort it into
various folders: downloads (software and updates), images (for my digicam,
with subfolders of grouped files), emails, forums, documents, screen dumps,
websites I want to save, and my own websites. Plus a folder with 60-odd
subfolders for miscellaneous file extensions when I come across them, e.g.
.psp, .mp3, .avi, .ico, .dll and so on.
