Seems Notepad++ used to do this fine: start up in the same directory it was in when last run. Now File/Open takes it to either its own directory, c:\programs, or even to Mozilla's if I invoke "View Page Source" in FireFox.
Can't find a setting for this; anyone know how to make it work right?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Not sure if this will help you but in another topic Chad solved what may be a similar problem. He said, "If you create a short cut and edit the properties of the short cut, you can set the "Start in" field to the directory you want Notepad++ to always 'start in'."
For example, if you place "C:\Documents and Settings\Carl\Desktop" in the "Start in:" box of the shortcut properties dialog, then the "File ... Open ..." and "File ... Save As ..." menus will default to the desktop (my desktop in the example).
This works for me because I like to initially save Notepad++ files to my desktop until I finish working on them. I have not tried, but you probably could have several edited shortcuts, placing them where ever you want them with different "Start in" properties.
This was under the "Help" topic discussion titled "Default save to and open directory" if you want to check there.

Carl
