How do I set MS Access NOT to use my profile's 'My Documents'

Hello All,
I need to set Access to use my local folder, and not my 'My Docs'
folder which is in a netwrok drive.
I did the setting thru' options, but when I logged in again, it was
pointing to 'My Docs' folder.
How do I set this folder permanently?
Regards
K. Lakshmanan

Thanks. I did that and when I logged out of XP and login again, it was
pointing to My Documents.
Now I found a setting (in three places, if I am right) in registry
called 'default database directory' which was setting this value. I
changed that to my local folder, and now it is fine. Thanks anyway.
Regards.
