How to change the default Netbeans 7 project directory?

This is only a minor annoyance but if I can figure this out I'll be very happy.

Is it possible to change the default project directory in Netbeans 7? I don't know if it's relevant but I have the PHP Netbeans distro.

Thanks!

Where are NetBeans projects stored?

In NetBeans, select "File" from the menu bar, then "Open project..." and select the location where the file was saved from RobotBuilder. The project will be opened and you will see it in the "Projects" tab on the left side of the NetBeans window.

What is working directory in NetBeans?

In Netbeans, the working directory is typically the root directory of the project (which contains the src and nbproject folder), but this can be changed via the project properties.

In new netbeans 7 search file: D:\Users\YourWindowsUserName\.netbeans\7.0\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\projectui.properties

Delete: *RecentProjectsDisplayNames.*8, *RecentProjectsIcons.*8, *recentProjectsURLs.*8 for cleaning recent projects.

Change projectsFolder for default projects folder when creating new one

Under Linux, you can change it in the Netbeans configuration directory: .netbeans/6.8/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/projectui.properties
