The autosave path is displayed in the menu Advanced / Preferences / Defaults / Autosave/Backup and can be changed from there or redefined in xyset.dfl under "df aop=". My own preference is to install XyWin in c:\xw and make c:\xw\temp the autosave directory, so I can easily find my last autosave file. I only use c:\windows\Program Files for MS products.
