Red face Where the &*$^%! can I change this??? (Need help changing saved folder on xp)

I'm using LW on a Mac G4, together with Itunes, slicker than slick.

I also have LW on a PC, together with iTunes. Well........ To make a long story short, on the PC (XP) I cannot find the option to change the folder where I want to save the MP3 files. Right now LW wants to save them to a folder that doesn't even exist. In desperation I save them in a sub folder in LW, from where I have to manually drag them to iTunes' Library.

I have a gazillion subfolders in LW, that I haven't created and that - as far as I can see- are not used.

After searching all drop down menues in LW AND iTunes I can not find the option to change the 'save to' option. Is there something wrong with my eyes? My brain? All together possible, no doubt about that.

Would it be the best solution to completely delete LW (and perhaps iTunes also) then download and re-install them? I don't care about the music files on my PC, I have all I ever need om my Mac and iPod, but it would be handy if it would work on both laptops.

Thanks in advance!
Milli.

In LW tools > options > saving. Browse for the folder that you want to use as your saved folder > select.
Once you've selected the folder, it'll show in the text field next to 'folder' on that tools > options > saving page. Click Apply to save the change

Keep in mind on Windows, iTunes does not auto import files from LW in the way it can on the mac. Music needs to be manually added. Windows users are still in the 'stone age' lol

Just make sure you do not download your files into the program folder. For some odd reason, LW sometimes defaults to that location.
