Hi, on my old laptop, export files saved to Documents. On my new laptop they save to users\<name>\app data\local\temp. Last night I was working on an export which I'd saved as a .xls, (and saved frequently as I worked) but I didn't take note of where I was saving to (I found out this morning after recreating and saving an export). Anyway, my Excel file is nowhere to be seen. It's not on my recents or anywhere. Anyway, I suspect it's disappearance has something to do with where it was saved) I want to change the default save location for FFS exports, but can't see where to do that. Any assistance would be appreciated

FFS only uses the locations you tell it to use. Data in that temp folder is deleted automatically, usually. FFS doesn't export files anyway, what are you referring to?

Probably muner0076 refers to the Export File List option available under FFS / Tools after running a Compare.
This list exports as a *.csv file, but generally opens in Excel (if installed).
The *.csv-file is saved in users\<name>\app data\local\temp,
and this then also the default save-as location in Excel.
