FACT(s) (Environment):

Windows NT 32 Intel/Windows 2000

FIX:

In Windows NT & 9x, when using the File Open / File Save dialog, the initial directory will be the working or start-in directory as specified within an icon or shortcut.
With Windows 2000 and Millennium, the directory is the most recently used directory.

The changes are incorporated within the Windows Common Dialogs DLL comdlg32.dll). Information received from Microsoft regarding this change indicates that it was not based on a technical reason, but rather was seen as a user enhancement which Microsoft thought would improve the user experience.
