As with every quibble I have I'm probably just missing something really simple, but my Default Render Path doesn't seem to work. In Options > Preferences > General, the path is set to: C:\Documents and Settings\Josh\My Documents\Mixdowns But any time I actually go to render a project the Output file is set to: C:\Program Files\REAPER\untitled.ogg Any ideas?

Huh...well when I started a new project from my template file, the render path was incorrect. Then I started a new, empty project like you said, & it used the correct path I specified in Preferences. I was under the impression that Preferences were global & carried across projects. Is that not the case here? Is there any way to use a Default Render Path with my template project?

Thanks Dstruct, that worked perfectly! And +1 to your other post; I can't imagine why I'd ever want to save anything into the program directory.
