When opening a Trados GroupShare project in Trados Studio a window appears with a project location path. For our translators, this path is supposed to direct to a personal folder named, for example, as the translator's initials.
After closing Trados Studio, somehow it keeps reverting to the original folder when downloading Trados GroupShare projects.

Is there any other way to change this default project location and make sure Trados Studio stores it? 



 

The path is stored in the UserSettings.xml file from:

• C:\Users\[username\]AppData\Roaming\Trados\Trados Studio\Studio17 for Trados Studio 2022
• C:\Users\[username\]AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\Studio16  for Trados Studio 2021
• C:\Users\[username\]AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\15.0.0.0  for Trados Studio 2019
• C:\Users\[username\]AppData\Roaming\SDL\SDL Trados Studio\14.0.0.0  for Trados Studio 2017

To change the location, open UserSettings.xml in a text editor (e.g.  Notepad++) and change the folder path set at  "RecentProjectFolder".
