Question: How do I set the default location for the notes, to a specified location (like c:\notes\)? At present, they are placed in “My Documents” unless I make special effort to move them.
There is nothing like a default location but a starting location. The first time location (after you start Windows) is controlled by the desktop shortcut from which you start WhizFolders. This is set up as My Documents in Start In box. But you can always change it in the shortcut by right-clicking on it.
Subsequently, WhizFolders uses a last-used-folder strategy. As soon as you open a document from another location, it remembers that as the working location for the next File New or Open operations. This is quite convenient once you know how it works. So if you are planning on using a particular location for all your documents, change the desktop shortcut, and move all your existing documents there so that the working location remains same through out.
Moving your existing documents: This needs some explanation so I am answering it in another article, Moving your existing documents.
