Re: Change "open" default behavior

That is a good tweak I've been using it for awhile. I was actually
referring to the Open dialog box. It seams like to matter what
program I use, when I go to File - Open, it always starts in My
Docs. I rarely use this folder and was hoping there was a way to
change the default to the root drive. Or perhaps a way to delete
the folder all together.
