SDL Trados Studio fresh installation on laptop - and Studio choses OneDrive as path for projects

Question

Something very strange to me. 
 I have the following setup: 
 On my desktop the folder "Documents" is located in OneDrive. 
 Now I have bought a new laptop and have installed it. Of course I have OneDrive also there. But the folder Documents were NOT located in OneDrive and this shall be continued that way. 
 Nonetheless, after activating Studio and logging in to my account Studio has selected the Documents folder from OneDrive and loaded all the projects I have now open on PC. This shall not be that way, I need Studio to have a separate projects.xml on the laptop. Studio on laptop and desktop shall not be connected in any way. 
 Where do I find the settings for the paths to change this behavior?

Hi Jerzy Czopik , 
 As OneDrive appears to be a recurring topic (especially syncing issues)- with Windows 10 I have done some digging. 
 It appears that OneDrive is actually the DEFAULT save location (out of the box) for files and documents. 
 Therefore, Studio it would seem, picks up these Windows default settings (will try and get confirmation on this). 
 These links are perhaps useful (also to others with similar issues)

Trados Studio > 1. Trados Studio
