Photo elements wants to open last used dir location. When it doesn't exist or cannot access, it fails to open.  How do you set the default file location?

Upset!!!
Photo elements wants to open at the last used folder location. When it does not exist or unable to open that location. It FAILS to OPEN.
Does not seem to be a way to set a default location or to change the location.
VERY ANNOYING.
How do you tell photo elements to always go to a set location rather than the last used location?
Thank you

Hi,
I did a test as you suggested - open an image on a removable drive, close the editor and took the removable offline. When I next went to the editor, it opened OK.
From the screen shot in message #5 above, I think that the fault is with SolidWorks. I am not familiar with that product but it seems to be a form of asset management and it can't open its database - is that on the removable?
Normally, the editor does not open any files when it loads except for it program files and any addins. Could SolidWorks be an addin?
See if this works to reset the preferences.
Create a desktop shortcut for this file
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
Hold down the Ctrl, Shift & Alt keys when you double click on the shortcut. Keep the keys held down and eventually a message box will pop up asking if you want to reset the preferences - you do.

  • How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.

    How do you set the default magnification for Acrobat.  All documents that I open enlarge to 174% and are too big.  I see how to change the size after the document is open by going to File/properties/initial view and saving this setting.  I want all documents to open at 100% when they are first opened.  Can I set this as a default view?

    Hey Kris,
    You might go to Edit> Preferences> Zoom
    Do this without opening any particular PDF so that it applies to the program itself and not just one document.
    Try this and then let me know.

  • Interactive Form Element 7.1:  How can I set the default file name?

    I am using Interactive Form Element with 7.1 to display a pdf.  When one clicks the save button in Adobe's toolbar, the dialog defaults the file name to "F.pdf".  Is there a way to default this to a different value?

    Making customisation from the default profile is generally considered poor practice and quite often doesn't work out as planned. (If you're interested in some more information on this, [http://mockbox.net/windows-7/227-customise-windows-7-default-profile.html see here] see here)
    This article should help you with developing and deploying your customised Firefox 4 installation (without touching the Windows 7 default user profile):

    Hi,
    Try saving your settings as a Preset by clicking the Preset drop down and then select Save Current Settings as a Preset.
    Next try changing the settings by selecting the saved preset.
    That allow saving the settings for a specific printer, I assume it may also allow selecting these settings for another printer.

  • How do I set the default folder for file - open file... ?

    When I save a file, photo, etc., the default folder for OPENING a file becomes the last folder I SAVED to - even after closing and reopening Firefox. Is there a way to maintain the same default folder for opening files?
    Thanks.

  • How can you set the max row for a 'open cursor' in a stored proc?

    I would like to know how can you set the maximum amount of row returned in a resultset coming from a stored proc?
    You can do it via JDBC with cStatement.setMaxRows(10); but it works only for select that you do via JDBC...
    I would like the same functionality using open cursor inside a stored proc...
    Thanks...

    is "where ROWNUM <= 10" the equivalent of "cStatement.setMaxRows(10);" because the ROWNUM as problem with the ORDER BY clause and the setMaxRows() as no problem...

  • TS1314 How do you change the default location address (in My Pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    How do you change the default location address (in my pictures) of the IPOD Photo Cache ?

    You do no specifically. It sounds like you are syncing a folder to the iPod. In that case:
    From a Folder on Mac OS X, Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7
    The iPod Photo Cache will be located in the folder you selected to sync with. 
    Thus, you have to change the location of the folder you sync with.

    A few weeks ago I downloaded some free software from the "tucows.com" website, it appears to have permanently hijacked my web browsers (both firefox and IE) so all searches go to their "searchqu" site, and new tabs open at that site. I was unable to repair this with the addins you suggested or by editing my user preferences files, and ended up having to reinstall firefox. Hopefully I won't run into the tucows rootkit ;)
    But thanks anyway.

  • How can I change the default "file type" in the open file dialog when using Firefox on certain web pages?

    I work for a bankruptcy attorney. We use the Court's file upload to file our documents. When I am on the Court's site and I have to pick a file to upload, the "open file" dialog box pops up. In Firefox, the default "file type" is always "image" files. I need it to be "all files". How can I change this setting?

    Two observations.
    First — "Tools-> ...." is specific to Acrobat X and XI. It did not exist prior to Acrobat X.
    Second — Acrobat 9 Pro / Standard (nor earlier release) does not support viewing a PDF page containing a scanned image and performing a right-click  ... Save Image As. 
    The context menu provided by Acrobat 9 Pro with a right-click on a scanned image is:

  • How do I set the default Hero image in a Muse slideshow widget when using Free Form Thumbnails?

    Hello,
    I am trying to find out how to set the default Hero image when using a Muse slideshow widget and in the Layout section I have the "Free Form Thumbnails"
    box checked.
    In other words, when the page loads I want to define which image displays as the first Hero image.
    If I do not select the "Free Form Thumbnails" option, the top left Thumbnail image always displays first. This is fine.
    But when I select the Free Form Thumbnails" checkbox I don't know how to define which image shows first as the Hero image.
    I have a short video at this link where I illustrate the question:
    http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.mp4
    I have added a WMV video file at the link below:
    http://amson.org/misc/default-hero-image-1.wmv
    Okay… I think I've worked out how to do it!
    [1] First have the "Free Form Thumbnails" box UNCHECKED.
    [2] Organize the Thumbnails and place the image that you want to be the first Hero image when the page loads in the top left corner of the Thumbnails group.
    [3] When you "Preview Site In Browser" the Thumbnail image in the top left corner will always display as the first Hero image.
    [4] If you want "Free Form Thumbnails" go ahead now and SELECT that checkbox.
    [5] Whichever image was in the top left of the Thumbnail group before you checked "Free Form Thumbnails" will still show up as the first Hero image when the page loads, regardless of where that thumbnail image is located within the Thumbnail images group.
    Thanks very much.
    Chris.

    Hi,
    The sequence of operation you are doing to set the home page for public users is correct. You are getting the login screen as the "custom page group" selected as "home page" has not been granted to public.
    Also, while logging-out, it is normal behaviour to get the screen where it shows the list of partner applications from where user has been logged-out. When you click on "Return" button, you will get to the "home page" set above.
    Hope it clarifies the things.

  • How do I set the default directory that adobe opens from and saves to.

    Every time I open a document, adobe looks for files in skydrive.  To get to my files, I have to back up a level, change to the c: drive, go to users, and then pick the folder my files are in.  Does anyone know where I can find and change the defalt file location.

    Thank you for your reply Rob. That is a pity because I have loaded some 500 eBooks and each Cover page appears in the Navigation sidebar with real Pictures and Videos interspersed seemingly randomly. I have also tried to move my stuff into separate folders called Pictures and Videos. Wheareas the Pictures moved successfully, the Videos didn't show in the Videos Folder. I think this is a bug.
    Is there another Media Player on the HP App site that is worth trying?
