Change default 'save as' location for OS- URGENT!
Need to change the default save location to a different path than the 'my documents' location.
No, I do NOT want to redirect the path of the my docs folder, I want to make the default save location a network path \\serverx\share. I do still wish to have the my docs folder, in a different location, just not the default save as location.
No, this is not for Office. I want the general OS to point to a save as location, as we use a number of apps that need to be affected, including (but not limited to) Office 2003, Internet Explorer, & Acrobat.
This is URGENT, so 500 points goes to the winner!

This is going to be set at the application level, not the OS unfortunately. Most applications will use the 'My Documents' path as the default so if you redirect that it will work for most apps. I understand you don't want this but it may be your only option. For example MS Office will have a default path for each of the applications so you could have a different one for Word, Excel, PPT, etc...
