In addition to those mods (which I wrote), it is usually necessary to get into
the PDW-generated Setup.LST, which is a text-format file and not too difficult
to work out. That is where your particular concern (DefaultDir) is to be
found. (the working directory is quite a different setting, that's where
Access starts up pointing to)

If you insist (like me) on using the PDW, that is :-)
