This did not work for me on a new MBkPro running Mtn Lion. It still shows All MY Files no matter how many times I add the Home folder??????

Thanks for the tip, but it is old news. This option has been around since at least Tiger. It used to be called “Open New Finder Window in” and you could select the drive from the drop-down menu in Finder Preferences/General.

All My Files is just a smart folder you know, you can set it to anything you want…

Strange; it works for me just fine. Both on a Desktop and a MBP…

I found that when I changed this setting. It always reverted to the ‘all my files’ option after restarting my MBP.

This is one of the first things I changed in the Lion upgrade, I fear we won’t have a choice in the next big cat.
