But to carry on with the analogy. If you close Excel and then re-open it, the first file open will go back to the stated default folder. However, with Legacy, the default has changed to be the folder last used.
The defaults are user preferences and should not be changed at the whim of the software. Jack -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of C.G.

In Excel for example, the first file open will be from the default directory set in Excel. However, subsequent File-Opens will default to the last used folder.
