How to change the default save directory in the BCB IDE?

(copied and edited from a message posted on borland.public.cppbuilder.ide)

Q:  The first time I save a project, it always tries to put it in My Documents which I never use.

A:  Say thank you to Microsoft for this feature. They "enforce" this now on Windows 98, because the user cannot be trusted.

You need to change the working directory / startup directory of BCB in the link to it (Desktop or in the Start menu)

Then there is a registry entry in Windows 98 that allows you to turn off this ridiculous Win98 behavior - try searching DejaNews, it has been mentioned a couple of times.
