21481 2001-10-14 20:38:00 Somehow I have changed the default setting for the location of backup files, so that, when I create a new MS Office document and save it, the 'Backup of <filename>' icon appears in the same folder that I have saved the document to.

Can someone please help me find out how to change the default location of backup files back to where they should go (and tell me where that it...)

I'm running Windows ME and Office 2000.

21482 2001-10-14 21:14:00 Backup files are stored with the original document. There is no easy way to change this. You can however change the location of autorecover files.

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the File Locations tab (this also allows you to specify custom locations). In the File types box, click AutoRecover files. Click Modify
