I often save new PHP or *.inc files. If these are brand new files, and I hit Save As or Save, it goes straight to c:Windows/System32.
Why?
Can this be changed - ideally I'd want it to default to my Desktop.
SaveAs System32 - why always this folder by default?

First place I'd look is in your editor's settings to see if there's a default save path that can be set.

If that's the editor you use, then yes. You didn't make mention of it anywhere.

There is no setting I can find that sets the "default folder".
Is there one for the basic Notepad??

Vanilla Notepad? I doubt it very much. You also don't want to use that for development.
Looks like you can specify a default save location in Notepad2 via its .ini file

Often the "Start in:" property of the program shortcut will affect the default save location.
