Hi DL,

You can customise the UCBLogo interpreter behavior (path, color, font etc.) by creating startup.lg file in the User Documents folder and put:

setprefix "c://logo    ;or whatever folder name you want instead "logo"
 
into the file, using your favorite text editor.
 
Alternatively, you can create the startup.lg file form UCBLogo prompt directly by typing:

? editfile "startup.lg

and using built-it editor to add the line. After that use Alt-A to close and accept changes in the editor.

Since you do that, the prefix will be used as the implicit beginning of filenames in LOAD, SAVE, OPENREAD, OPENWRITE, OPENAPPEND and OPENUPDATE commands.
Please note, that the EDITFILE command continues to use the User Documents folder by default and you should still provide full path to the command as an argument.
It works fine on Windows 7, but it should work on Windows 8, 10 too.
For additional customisation options, please read the Berkeley Logo User Manual.

UCBLogo is a wonderful environment for education purposes. Please consider to use the amazing Computer Science Logo Style trilogy by Dr. Brian Harvey in accompany with the interpreter.
If you need more multimedia than UCBLogo can provide, try David Constanzo's FMSWLogo, an updated version of MSWLogo, a Windows-only version with multimedia and other enhancements.  

Good luck with your work!

Alexey.
