I installed XAMPP and then Netbeans and noticed that new PHP projects default to XAMPP's htdocs folder. Does anyone know how to change this default folder?

I tried to search google but all the first page results are related to Netbeans 7. I tried to follow the instructions from this question but I can't find the projectui.properties mentioned in the accepted answer. I'm on Windows 10.

May be this will help you

  1. Edit the file C:\Users\<YourName>\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.2.0\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\projectui\groups\<TheGroup>.properties.
  2. Change the path entry to the new location.

In addition to directory given in above answer, default directory under NetBeans 10 and Linux/Ubuntu can be modified using

nano ~/.netbeans/10.0/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/projectui.properties

When you create a new project, its parent folder becomes a default folder for your future project, you can reassign it everytime creating new project.

You can edit that file if you are using NetBeans IDE 15 and installed from Snap Store.

sudo nano ~/snap/netbeans/69/config/Preferences/org/netbeans/modules/projectui.properties

Running Netbeans 11:

C:\Users\<YOUR_WINDOWS_USER>\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\11.1\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\projectui.properties

Look for this property:
