AutoCAD Suite - file location dialog box issue only saving to desktop location

Hi,

I need some input on an issue I'm having with the AutoCAD Suite 2019.  This issue happens across all the CAD platforms installed on my system.  MS Windows 10 is the operating system and MS Office doesn't have this issue.

 

The issue,

 

Every time I try to open a file on the network or create and save a sheetset file, the AutoCAD dialog box defaults to desktop despite changing it to the file location.

 

1. If I try to open a file in a network location it flips back desktop as the file location. 

 

2. If I create a sheetset from scratch, it will not allow me to save to the network, only to the desktop.  It sees the network location folder and I tell it to save it there but it saves it to the desktop instead.  I have to move the dst file from my desktop into the network file location afterwards.  Once I do this, it starts to save the related files to the network location.

 

I have removed the desktop file location in the left pane to see it this was the issue.  It still saves to the desktop.

All of my file locations under the Options settings for AutoCAD haven't changed in years.  They are still pointing to the correct locations.

 

I've been using my new system for over a year without any issues.  This only started happening about two weeks ago. The network has been up and running for 15+ years.

I have tried both the repair utility and reinstalling AutoCAD as well without any luck.

 

Any help would be appreciated.  I can't find anything on-line about this issue.

 

Thanks

Found a Solution: 

 

How do I change the default destination for a file?
 
Open "File Explorer." Right Click Documents the and open the Properties. Select the Location Tab, Choose (Restore Default) Click Apply and choose (NO) 
 
I hope this works for anyone that is having this problem currently and in the future.
