Entirely depends on the program. It;s under the programs control.
It's entirely up to the program. If the program doesn't specify these are
the rules (#1 and #2 is the program specifing - a lot don't). You can try
setting the default directory (in a shortcuts properties) but it depends on
the program.
Windows 2000/XP:
1.. If lpstrFile contains a path, that path is the initial directory.
2.. Otherwise, lpstrInitialDir specifies the initial directory.
3.. Otherwise, if the application has used an Open or Save As dialog box
in the past, the path most recently used is selected as the initial
directory. However, if an application is not run for a long time, its saved
selected path is discarded.
4.. If lpstrInitialDir is NULL and the current directory contains any
files of the specified filter types, the initial directory is the current
directory.
5.. Otherwise, the initial directory is the personal files directory of
the current user.
6.. Otherwise, the initial directory is the Desktop folder.

In many programs, you open up browser windows to select a file...
How do I change the Default Path...?
How do I get a program to open up the browser window to same the place
everytime - a folder that I want it to?
I know some programs do have Options or Preferences to do this, but most
don't. Will I have to tinker with the registry?
Cheers for any help.

Thanks.
I'll go searching for those files...
