  If you want to try setting a different default save spot in
  IDLE on Windows, here is what you could try - though I am not
  totally sure it will work:

  Find the IDLE shortcut, either in your Start Menu or on your Desktop.

  Right-click it and hit "Properties".

  Go to the "Shortcut" tab and look for the "Start in" box.

  Swap out whatever is in "Start in" for the folder you want,
  like "C:\Users\exampleusername\python_code".
