Some progress on this. I got some control by editing the registry ... HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Macromedia/Studio5/FileLocations/StartupDir
I also followed someone else's suggestion about placing a shortcut to my preferred startup dir inside the startup dir where CF5 wants to go. After these two changes, everything now defaults to that preferred startup dir. However, if I go into Extended Find or Extended Replace, and look at the selected "In folder" option, it shows the last-searched directory in the horizontal text field. When I was using CF4.5 I could click the folder symbol to the right of that and it would take me to that last-searched directory and let me navigate up or down. With CF5 it shows me a much higher level (Desktop) and makes me drill back down to where all the templates are located. Something is still broken.

Running CF Studio 5 on Windows 2000 Pro. When I do "Save As..." or "Open" it always defaults to the ColdFusion Studio 5 directory down inside Program Files, not my local copies of the Web sites I work on (I edit locally then upload to server for testing). I've repeatedly searched through Studio's various settings, and even several times tried editing the registry, which worked with version 4.5. Every time I use the File menu or its equivalent keystrokes to open or save as, I have to navigate out of Program Files and then through multiple layers to find the local directories where everything is stored. (The Projects tab works OK.) Any tips?
