    I use Word 97 and usually when I go to file>open, the default file to look in is "My Docs". Something seems to have happened, and the default opening folder has changed. Any suggestions on how to get it back to looking in "My Docs" as the default folder?

    go to:
    tools
    options
    file locations tab
    click on documents to highlight
    modify
    choose: C:\My Documents (navigate there from your current setting) and click 'ok'
