    Yes....Right click AcadLT Desktop Icon

    Select Properties/Shortcut tab

    Edit the 'Start in' Field


    There may be other ways but this one works.

    that will only change the starting poing of
    autocad... I meant when you click on the open drawing and change it from autocad
    to something else... sorry I should have said that...


    style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
    Yes....Right
    click AcadLT Desktop Icon

    Select Properties/Shortcut tab

    Edit
    the 'Start in' Field

    REMEMBERFOLDERS if you are using an 'i' product needs to be
    turned off (set to 0, zero). Then restart AutoCAD, and it should default to the
    open file location when AutoCAD has to access your drive.

     

    BTW, the more information you give about your setup, and the more detailed
    an explanation of what you are trying to do, goes a long way in helping group
    users help you. Try it for a change *grin*
