How to change the default Netbeans 8.0.2 project directory?

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.

    2. Change the path entry to the new location.
