Save as default location Photoshop Elements 2023

[Nick_Baelz]

I am running PSE 2023 and Window 11. My photos are saved on my c drive and when I went to save an edit it showed my the c drive folder.

However following the latest Windows 11 update when I go to save as it defaults to One drive which I don't use. I then have to select the folder with C drive pictures to save it in.  I could not find File Handling under Preferences but 

Under Preferences it shows Folders for Saved Files 

C:Users\Nick\Pictures

How do I STOP it defaulting to One drive.

?

Thanks

Under the Editor's Preferences, do you have the box checked for Save As to Original Folder?

Are you sure you are editing files from your C:\users\Nick\Pictures folder and not from One Cloud (which is also probably on your C drive)?

Try resetting the preferences file. Go to the Editor's Edit>Preferences>General tab and click the Reset Preferences on next launch button.

One other thing to try is to make sure that OneDrive does not appear in your Watched Folders list or in the APD Save In preferences.

Thanks for your reply. I am definitely editing from My Pictures, One drive is empty.

Yes Save to original folder is ticked.

I found One drive in Watched folder and removed it.

I don't know what APD Save in preference is . Could you explain?

Its still happening
Thanks

In the Organizer, go to Edit>Preferences>Camera or Card Reader.

The only other thing I can think of is a setting in the registry.

If you are familiar with the Windows Registry, take a look in the following location and see if there is any reference to OneCloud:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Elements Organizer\21.0

If you don't see any reference there, perhaps do a registry search (Find) for OneCloud.

My final solution, if you don't use OneCloud, is to delete the folder from your computer.

Edit:  I should of course warn you not to mess around in the Registry unless you are familiar with it and are comfortable doing so.
