Hello everybody,


May someone can help. Here's my problem,

Everytime I try to open a file the file dialog windows goes to My Documents
(a folder I never use) . How can I change this? Preferrably to the last
folder I used with the program used. Say textPad.

Possible in SOME applications. Look for default file location settings
in a dialog/pop-up that appears when you select "options", "preferences"
or "settings" in the applications menu system.

Probably to complicated or impractical in other applications due to the
way the developers coded the application. this may be due to the
developer not wanting to take time it would take to add that function OR
a "I know better than the user" attitude about where data should be stored.

I think you're right about this. This why I like to write my own code with
Euphoria (not a drug).

Thanks for replying.
