Don, Are you suggesting that after a search the program should remember where it last searched and when the window is opened that directory is selected? If so then why not put in an enhancement request Legacy Home Tab>Suggest a new feature. Doing so would ensure that it will at least be considered. It is not something I am bothered about, but I would not have any problems with it either.
