How are default document folder paths set in Studio?

Question

I did see a previous post titled "How are default project folder paths set in Studio?", but my problem is slightly different. 
 I work mostly out of single documents sent to me by customers that don&rsquo;t even know about Trados Studio. So, I almost never work from a "project" point of view. Times and again, day in, day out, I open a single document for translation. But... the default folder is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17", where you have absolutely no chance to find any document. Even if I do know that once the application is launched, Studio remembers the folder where the last document was, it seems to me that this first default setting (C:\Program Files (x86)\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17) should be changed (once and for all) to one&rsquo;s personal "Documents" folder, which would be a sound and logical starting point to find documents to translate. Is there any solution?

 Maybe worth clarifying... if you open a single file for translation as a single document translation then the project is always created in the same folder as the source file. 
 If you create a standard project, but only with a single file, then the project will be created based on the location of the project template you are using. If you have not created any then it should be using the default template. You can set the location for projects in the default by going to File -> Setup -> Project Templates , select the default and enter the path here under Project Template -> Project location : 
 
 It may be empty as mine is, so setting it should correct your issue.

 I have no idea why it goes back to the programme folder. I doubt you ever use that location anyway. 
 I also have no idea why the default location would get removed in your default template. Presumably it has been removed? 
 It makes me think you are perhaps synching your folders where these templates are kept with OneDrive perhaps and you have a synching issue that is undoing the changes you made. If you are using OneDrive consider not! 
 Otherwise the only advice I could give you is to set up a shortcut to copy the path to the file yo need to open. I never even look where the files are from Studio when I'm using the same approach as yo. I just select the source file, copy to shortcut and then paste it into the window I'm using to open the file as a single file translation. It's fast and foolproof. 
 I know you'll probably think something needs to be fixed, but the fact you lasted a day and then it went back to the programme folder tells me there is something odd about your setup and your settings are getting overwritten by something on your machine. I'd look there first.
