change directory of save of python files

[akbarza]

hi
i save my python files in my pc in drive d at d:\pythonfiles folder.
when I want to save a new python file or I want to open a python file, windows go to the below address:
c:\users\...\appdata\local\programs\python\python311
i want to go to address d:\pythonfiles when i want to save a python file or open a one .
how can i do it?
thanks

What do you mean "windows go to the below address". Are you opening a file dialog, and the dialog opens in that folder, or do files appear in that folder when you save a file without providing a path?

And how are you saving python files? What is your editor?

hi
i use idle shell 3.11.3
suppose i open a new file in idle and i write a code in it. for runing it, i first must save it( if i do not save it, when i run it, the idle popup a window and says to save it).when i want to save it, the popup save window is opened with the address:
c:\users\...\appdata\local\programs\python\python 3.11
but i want to save my code in derive d in a folder, so i must change the address of saving files.
there is this problem in open a saved code.
it is time consuming changing address of save for several times.
so i want to know is there a way to change save address to specific folder other than : c:\users\...\appdata\local\programs\python\python 3.11
thanks

I think you can use Snippsat's reply in this thread. Otherwise you can probably configure the link to idle in Windows using this tutorial (but I'm not a Windows user, things may be different nowadays).
