How can I set default project location for all projects in IntelliJ IDEA?

I'm wondering if there is a way to set the default location for all IntelliJ projects, something similar to the workspace concept in Eclipse?

Because I always need to change the IDEA project location when I create a new project.

Where are IntelliJ IDEA projects stored?

By default, IntelliJ IDEA stores user-specific files for each IDE instance (configuration, caches, plugins, logs, and so on) in the user's home directory.

What is the default folder name for all IntelliJ projects when you use a standard install?

For the directory-based format, the IDE creates the . iml file and the . idea directory that keeps project settings. It's the default format for projects in IntelliJ IDEA at this moment.
