Default folders

How to change the default folders ?

For instance: when I'm saving a swatch, Photoshop points to C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\Presets\Color Swatches

 

And I always have to browse and find MY directory

 

How to change this once and for all ?

I don't think you can change the default locations. What you might do to avoid browsing, though, is pin your folder to Quick Access in Windows File Explorer. Details here:

Another workaround (shame on Adobe) is to change the Start-In folder.

Too bad that it affects the File>Open

      I'm thankful that someone DID answer the question

       

      But needless to say, an unacceptable answer (not your fault) for such an "important" software  !
