Where does intelliJ save projects ?
This may seem like a stupid question but i just cannot find out...
I need to be able to save whole projects send them to another person. The saved project, all its libraries etc, should be found under name i created it. (?)
I tried to find out my installation folder:
Tried to find out the path via clicking on settings on desktop shortcut: Fun fact:
The patch that this shortcut is set to is " "C:\Program Files\JetBrains\IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2017.2.5\bin\idea64.exe" ( guess this is the standard installation folder)
THERE IS NO C:\PROGRAM FILES on my hardrive.... still its installed and runs. There is C:\Programme ( im german ) , C:\ Programme( x86) , C:\ProgramData. Nothing else.
I tried to find it via "search" option on my ("Jet Brains") C:\.... nothing found.
I tried to reinstall the file and see if there is a mistake in the shortcut destination description by checking out the default installation folder using the same:
It is exactly the folder the shortcut points to that does not exist on my harddrive. (?!)
Sorry for this stupid question but its driving my insane.

When you create projects you specify the location where they will reside. By default IntelliJ IDEA suggests a directory under C:\Users\<user>\IdeaProjects, but it will remember the last directory you have chosen and suggest it automatically next time, so you can easily override it.
Project location has no relation to the IntelliJ IDEA installation directory.
^ Serge's solution is still spot-on in April of 2022.
Remembering the last directory on “New > Project” is not enough. IntelliJ Idea Ultimate 2023.2.5 does not remember the last directory on “New > Project from Version Control > Get from Version Control > GitHub”. In a computer where I never create new projects from scratch, but instead, I clone several dozen of them from GitHub, I have to change the directory away from “IdeaProjects” again and again, every single time. We should have an explicit global setting for this, instead of just the implicit “remember” mechanism. (Exposing a setting for every little thing is the best UX an IDE can offer to a coder, it future-proofs the tool against unnoticed blind spots like this one.)
