Hi alan,
How are you creating new investments?
If you use the "New Investment" dialog, at the end you are prompted for a filename/location. Just browse to the location where you want your investment saved. FM remembers your last location, and defaults it to this next time.
If you are automatically creating them during import or retrieve, click on the "New Investment Options..." dialog to choose the location.
If you're not using the investment files on your desktop you can delete them. For example, if you use the "Set Data Location", and move everything somewhere else, then you wouldn't be using the ones left on your desktop.
