Hi

I suspect that you use the default “http://servername:80” as your personal site provider when configure MySite settings for the first time. However you can create a new site collection using My Site Host template and go to SSP à”My Site Settings” then change the personal site provider under “personal site services”.

You can refer to the two articles below which have detailed steps:

Then you can set the new mysite in Office to synchronize the document between SharePoint and Office.

Hope this helps.

This seems to be a MySite question, so moving to Social Computing

I'll make an attempt to re-phrase the Title too to what I think you want to achieve. Change it back with Edit if I have misunderstood what you want.

Are you asking how to set the default page in a browser? Tools -> Internet Options -> Home Page

When some body type in Server name, its takes the user to his my site, by default.

But I Would like to set that to another site.
Microsoft Office will remember to synchronize documents stored in my site.

could we change this setting.
