file naming problem...sort of

I have set my default paths for files to a directory but after I work on a file and save it to it's correct location that location now becomes the default file location. I've set up my auto save and backup functions to save my file to the location c:autosavet.mcx. The first time the file backs up and autosaves it saves to this location. The next time it saves it saves to the folder of the file I'm working on and not to the default autosave file location. In fact it CHANGES the default location. WTF? Is this remembering the file locations a Windows function or MC function? Where can I turn it OFF?!? Thanks in advance, MIke

It looks like the problem was the backup stuff. I stopped the backup and the problem went away. I don't think the back up function works very well. I had the increment set at 1 and the max limit set to 3 and the start set at 1 but when I opened up the folder where I was saving the backups there were 6 copies (so far). I'll just stick to the autosave and 1 original.
