I don't use the My Webs inside My Documents inside the Documents and Settings
default folder.

Instead I place a folder off the c: root drive for each web site I'm working on.

FP defaults to My Webs inside My Documents and each time I save for the first
time in a session, I have to change to the C: drive and select the folder I want
to use.

In the File Save box, when I click on the arrow for the drop down list to change
to the root, it ALWAYS takes 10 to 15 seconds for the drop down list to appear.
It's done that on each PC I've used and right now my OS install is only about 2
months old, with little clutter in the Registry. Very annoying of course.

Is there a way to speed that up?
OR
Is there a way to get FP to default to the C: drive for saves?

FrontPage will always default to the website that is open. If no
website is open and you are editing a "loose" page, FrontPage will
default to My Documents\My Webs

Always open the website before editing pages or files. Doing this will
also speed up the save process.

I can't find it but I though there was a registry change you can make?

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\FrontPage\Explorer\Fron tPage Explorer\Settings

You can try changing it to just C:\

Change it with FP shut down.
However, FP may just change it back at some point in time.

I have that same problem on almost every program when it accesses the file menu.
It's not so bad that they default to the Doc&Settings, it's that it takes
forever for the list to drop down so I can choose the C: or D: or ANY other
drive.

Can that be fixed?????
