The default storage location and search path for presentations is the My Documents folder. If you use this folder for storing most of your PowerPoint files, then default location is likely fine for you.

Conversely, if you generally store presentations in another location, you may want to configure PowerPoint to default to your preferred location instead. You can accomplish this by following the steps that are listed below.

1. Within PowerPoint, click the Microsoft Office Button and then click PowerPoint Options.
2. Click Save
3. Under Save presentations, type in the new path in the Default file location field.
