Just my 2p worth.
Running XP & Off2003 all SPs intalled. I just hate the Powerpoint open
dialogue box, why oh why won't it remember where it last opened from, OK
it does if you don't close the program. Come on Microsoft play by the
rules!!
Oh and the preview/tiles annoyance. I got around it by changing the
folder view back to classic, who wants a cheap Mac GUI anyway, then when
you next insert a picture change the view to icons, insert, then close
Powerpoint. Next time you open it and insert picture it should be in the
same icon view, albeit, it will still insist that you want to look in
"my pictures".
<RANT>
And another thing, it just makes me laugh that they know about the long
filename bug for video et al, but insist on using half the allowed
length eg. "C:\Documents and Settings\My Computer\My Documents\My
Pictures" before we, as users, you know the CUSTOMERS, do our bit.

Preach it, brother. Amen. Then there's the utter fatuity of the enforced folder
names. Grrrr.
A read here might help ease the pain:
Don't make me store my pictures in My Pictures

I'm having the same problem, and my "Remember folder settings" is already
checked in Explorer. Any other ideas?

None or I'd have it set to go where *I* want it to go today here. <g>
Apparently this trick works for some people, not others.
