I've searched everywhere for a place to change the directory shown in the open dialogue. I just can't find an option for this anywhere. It keeps opening to C:\Program Files\Notepad++, meaning I have to make several clicks to get anywhere near the directory I'm going to. Does anyone know how to change this?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
"In the meantime, a good workaround is to place shortcuts to the directories you commonly use in c:\program files\notepad++. Give them names that cause them to appear at the top of the list, so that you can easily find them."
Thanks to pshute for this! --Joel

If you do a search on the forum, you might have to qualify the search. For example, use "default directory" (with the quotes) as the search string.
Here are a couple of workarounds I've found:
Create a shortcut to launch Notepad that has the desired directory as a target in the "Start in" field:

The second is a clever workaround that adds great flexibility to the default behavior:

I did the first one and it works well enough. Thanks.
