Pretty sure it saves it to "my documents"
That fucking no man's land. Who actually stores shit there?
I’ve started doing that at work, since the documents folder is one of the handful automatically backed up to MS onedrive.
At home the documents folder is on a network share and backed up from that little server.
At least there's Windows Search to bring your system to its knees by indexing everything constantly in the background, only to be both terribly slow and unable to find anything at all when you actually need it.
I depend on Voidtools' Everything search, which actually finds stuff.
What if I: Indexed everything in the background forever
And said: I don't know what the fuck file you're talking about
I keep seeing this sentiment from people who are supposedly savvy with computers. I never have to question where a file was saved to on Windows and I'm not sure why you guys do.
In my experience it's easiest to find things in Linux, next easiest in Windows, and on OSX, good luck with that.
How are the hackers supposed to find it if even you can’t? Exactly. Latest security at its finest
- Me: Ctrl+S, please save this file
- Windows: Do you want to save it on SharepointOnedriveCloudthing?
- Me: Put it in the local Downloads folder FFS
- Windows: OMG it's too hard!
Use F12 instead. Brings up the classic Save As and doesn’t (currently) default to OneDrive.
I mean, I hate Windows as much as the next guy, but the Recent Files list can help pick up the slack here. Also Windows typically saves new files to appropriate places and saves edits to existing files in the same place you opened the file at. Not knowing where a file is has never really been a problem I’ve had with Windows. If I have it’s usually been because an individual 3rd party app did something weird.
"You have so many gigabytes on that disk, and so many different folders... it seems kind of selfish and draconian to insist on just one!"
