Mark preferred folder in photosweeper6/10/2023 Not on my machine. I also back then up to an external backup drive. One big reason that I want to use a different folder is that I do a lot of custom graphics using PowerPoint, and have at any given time at the least 1000's of clipart, pictures and custom images, and I keep them stored on a separate external drive and I am hoping that they can/will fix this problem soon. Hi Adrian, thank you for stepping in for this issue. Graham Mayor - Word MVP Posted via the Communities Bridge In Word 2007 and earlier, if you set the "Clipart pictures" item in Word's File Locations dialog, it set a value in the registry, PICTURE-PATH in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\\Word\Options, and that's where the PICTURE-PATH doesn't work in there either, but the key may provide the key. ![]() HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Picture Manager There is however an intriguing empty registry key It doesn't work with 2010 on Windows XP either :( Will appear somewhere near the top of the Insert Picture dialog, but you may have to scroll down to get to it. That is, in the Computer app, right-click the preferred folder, click Include In Library, and click Pictures. The workaround - definitely a second-rate one - is to add your preferred location to the Pictures library. I haven't been able to convince it that it shouldn't go there. The default appears to always be the Pictures library (not the My Pictures folder in the Users\ location). In Word 2010 running on Windows 7, you can set the dialog or directly set the registry value, and Word will happily IGNORE your wishes. In Word 2007 and earlier, if you set the "Clipart pictures" item in Word's File Locations dialog, it set a value in the registry, PICTURE-PATH in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\\Word\Options, and that's where ![]() This is my take based on experiment, not with any theory behind it.
