This article is intended for users who want to change the default file-save location on a Windows computer. This does not apply to AnyWare Desktop as the 10GB-limit drive can not be indexed.  

## Windows 7

1. Before changing the default saving location, you first need to make the P: drive always available offline.
2. Go to **Start menu** > **Computer**, and locate the P: drive.
3. Confirm you are connected to the network. Right-click the P: drive that you want to make available offline, and then select **Always available offline **from the pop-up menu.
  1. If there is no "Always available offline" option from the right-click menu for the network folder/drive, you might be using a version of Windows 7 that does not support offline files.
4. Right-click on the **Documents **option and left-click **Properties **from the popup menu.
5. On the Documents Properties page click the **Include a folder button**, browse to find the P: drive, and select the P: drive. Click **Include folder**.
6. Back on the Documents Properties window, right-click on the newly-added P: drive and select **Set as default save location** from the pop-up menu; click **OK** to save the new configuration.

## Windows 10

1. Go to **Start menu** > **Computer**, and locate the P: drive.
2. Confirm you are connected to the network; right-click the P: drive that you want to make available offline, and then select **Always available offline **from the popup menu.
3. If there is no always available offline option from the right-click menu for the network folder/drive, you might be using a version of Windows 10 that does not support offline files.
4. Right-click on the **Documents **option and left-click **Properties **from the pop-up menu.
5. Left-click on the **Location **tab, enter the path of your P: drive into Target Location. Click **OK **to save the new configuration.
