Visual Studio's default path for new projects

C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Visual Studio <vs version>\Projects

I was expecting having to dive into the windows registry to fix this, but it turned out to be rather simple to change this.

In Visual Studio navigate to Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Locations

Change Project Location to the desired folder:

TL/DR: In Visual Studio: Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Locations
