»Description of Solution

Solution: As long as you are using Inspiration 7.0a or later; there are two ways to do this. The first method we describe assumes that you normally start Inspiration from the Start menu. The second method works for people who start Inspiration with a shortcut from their desktop. To customize your Start Menu: 1. Click on the Start button. 2. Locate your shortcut to Inspiration. 3. Right-click on the Inspiration shortcut. 4. From the menu that appears; select Properties. 5. A new window should appear. Click on the Shortcut file tab. 6. You should see a section called Start In. This is the directory that Inspiration will default to when opening and saving files. Just change this section so that it points to the directory where you store your Inspiration files. Once you're done with this; just OK or Close your way out of the windows that are open; and you should be done. To customize your shortcut: Select the Inspiration shortcut icon on the desktop. Right-click to open the menu and select Properties. Now follow steps 5 and 6 above.
