auto save feature

[lopie]

i use it and have a couple of song that "lost their way" when i click the auto save copy it doesn't load the song up but goes to audio folder where there is a hodgepoge of song files some look like the ones i need

-how do i send them back home were they belong-each file has effects etc - is there a proceedure?

Man, what is that, like four sentences in one?
Assuming I have a clue...
Do you understand windows file-path options? Maybe try not using 'auto save', instead do 'save as'. This will force a path pop-up box that will allow you to open and select a location -folder or drive, where ever you chose- and whichever name you want to use for the song. That way you will know what went where because you picked the place and name. The normal location is probably 'Cakewalk Projects' folder on C drive which is fine, but give it a discriptive name. ('song 52' won't get it after you have a bunch)
Once you get that set for a song/project, just use simply 'save' -unless you want to make and have diferent 'new' versions of the work.
Does that help?
