Changing drives and folders
By default, all files in PowerPoint (and all of the Office applications) are saved to the Documents folder (or My Documents under Windows XP) for the current user. Each user has his or her own version of this folder, so that each person’s documents are kept separate depending on who is logged in to the PC.
The Documents folder is a convenient save location for beginners, because they never have to worry about changing the drive or folder. However, more advanced users will sometimes want to save files to other locations.
These other locations can include floppy disks, other hard disks in the same PC, hard disks on other PCs in a network, hard disks on Web servers on the Internet, or writeable CDs.
Each user has a Documents or My Documents folder in his or her own profile. The actual location of that folder depends on the Windows version. For example, if Mary is logged in, the path would be C:\Users\Mary\Documents. In Windows XP, the path would be C:\Documents and Settings\Mary\My Documents. If your usual PowerPoint files seem to be missing at some point, make sure you are logged in under your usual user name.
Throughout all of the Office programs, the dialog boxes that save and open files are different depending on the operating system you are using.
