default folder for "insert picture from file"

[Fred]

I'm an occasional user of PowerPoint and I have put all my pictures in the
same folder as my presentation but when I go to insert a picture from file,
it opens in 'OurDocuments/Photos' which is something I don't go near
normally. I have set the 'Open In' path to the work folder and that works
fine for opening files but not pictures. It is just a slight irritant can
anybody tell me where you can set the default picture folder.

Many thanks

Annoying, isn't it?

In addition to Michael's suggestion, there are a couple others here:

Don't make me store my pictures in My Pictures
