New content not being saved to desktop on Drive D

While the method you were given is certainly correct, it doesn't always work, for some reason unknown (to me.) I personally have had consistent success by using the Location tab.

HI Greg, I cannot view or analyze images as my capabilities are limited to text-based interactions. However, I can guide you through some general steps to troubleshoot and resolve the issue you described.

Here are steps you can follow to ensure that your files are saved to Drive D instead of Drive C:

1. Check Default Save Locations:

   • Open the settings or preferences of the application you are using to create or save files.
   • Look for an option that allows you to set the default save location. Ensure that it is set to Drive D.

2. Change Default Save Location in Windows:

   • Open File Explorer on your computer.
   • Right-click on "Documents" or "Downloads" in the left sidebar (or the folder where you want to change the default save location).
   • Select "Properties."
   • Go to the "Location" tab.
   • Click on the "Move" button and choose a folder on Drive D.
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to move the folder to Drive D.

3. Change Default Save Location in Individual Applications:

   • Some applications have their own default save locations. Check the settings/preferences within each application and adjust the default save location to Drive D.

4. User Libraries:

   • Ensure that your user libraries (Documents, Pictures, etc.) are set to locations on Drive D.
   • Right-click on the library (e.g., Documents) in File Explorer, go to "Properties," and make sure the location is on Drive D.

5. Check Environment Variables:

   • Right-click on "This PC" or "Computer" on your desktop or in File Explorer.
   • Select "Properties."
   • Click on "Advanced system settings" on the left.
   • In the System Properties window, go to the "Advanced" tab and click on the "Environment Variables" button.
   • Check the "TMP" and "TEMP" variables in the "User variables" section. Ensure they point to a location on Drive D.

6. System Restore:

   • If the issue persists and you recently made changes to your system, you might consider using System Restore to revert your system to a point where the issue did not exist.

Remember to back up important files before making any significant changes to your system. If the problem persists, you may need to consult with your computer's support or IT department for further assistance.
