How can I change default file save locations? I would like to know if there is a simple way to have Blender (ver. 2.76b)save .blend files to a specified location by default. After install, my .blend files always saved to my \documents folder but as of sometime last week, I noticed them also ending up in appdata\local\microsoftwindows\temporaryinternetfiles\

I'd like to change this so that I have a dedicated Blender location, docs, pics, and so on. This answer How do you change the default directory for saving/opening files? says it can't, but I'm hoping something may have changed in the builds since that question was answered.
