How do I have Cakewalk look for and save my work to a certain directory?

Specify the correct directory in Options | Global Options | Folders (Tools menu in versions 8.0 and 7.0).

Cakewalk 6.0x and earlier - You can instruct Cakewalk to look at a specific folder when you click File, Open by adding the following line to your WINCAKE.INI file. This
file is located in your Cakewalk directory. The example below would make Cakewalk look in D:\SONGS when you click File, Open.

[WINCAKE]
WorkFileDir=D:\SONGS

Below are the other parameters you may enter in the WINCAKE.INI file.

LayoutFileDir=
StudioWareFileDir=
CALFileDir=
SysxFileDir=
GrooveFileDir=

A more in depth explanation of these settings is available in the Configuration Files Appendix of your Cakewalk Users Guide.
