Difficulty changing the directory to save cabinets

[Mark Terreau]

I always set up my own folders for saving work so that I can include them in auto backup processes. The problem is that whenever I get a new computer and copy files over I have a hard time redirecting Ecabs to those folders. I go into Edit/Settings/Preferences and change the path, but when I go to save a cabinet it does not go to that path. Clicking the Browse button does not give me a complete directory of my computer or even of the path that I have set. The Help manual says that you can type over the directory name but it won't let you use characters like : or \ so I don't know how you can type in a directory. Attached is an example of what I get when I hit the browse button. Thanks for any help.
