   RE: pdf Redirect

When I get to the output PDF file save step, the only FOLDERs that appear are those on my desktop.  Unfortunately, "MY Computer" and "My Documents" are not on my Desktop. Therefore, the only file save location available is the Desktop.

The Help file suggests a Custom Installation, but I cannot find that option.

How can I get the output  PDF file save elsewhere?

	I suspect that your icons may have been accidently deleted from your desktop. You can restore them as follows: Open the control panel, then Select the "Display" Properties", then Click in the "Desktop" Tab, then Click on the "Customize Desktop" button, and finally Ensure that "My Documents" and "My Computer" are selected (see the screenshot below). If you do not want the program to go to the Desktop, or if you do not want to add these icons to your desktop, you can have PDF reDirect go to a different drive, or to My Documents. You will need to run the "Pro" version (temporarily) via the Start Menu. Go through the "Preferences" to select an alternate startup folder. Finally exit the Pro version. The basic version should now go to the alternate folder at startup.

	WORK AROUND Using FreshDevices' UI, I found that both "My Computer" and "My Documents" were unchecked from displaying. When I rechecked them, they appeared on the Desktop and appeared on the list of Folders in pdfRedirect. Thanks for the help. Texas Handly
