Default open folder

[Jeff]

In Windows 7, when some of my installed applications open their "open
file" window, it defaults to my users\myname folder. In some cases the
application allows me to set a different default folder but in those
that do not (TrueCrypt for example) they open at the default
users\myname folder. I would like to change that default to F:\ (my data
partition). Is there a way to do this in Windows 7?
Thank you.

I am pretty sure it is dependent on each application and not under
Windows's control.

Is there anyone out there who knows better? If so, please let us know

In most cases its last used Most start with my documents /applications
folder. I noticed although Win 7 now calls it just documents Most my
application create a My documents/name of app Folder.

That doesn't quite address my question, which was: is it "dependent on each
application and not under Windows's control?", which is what my impression
is...

Many of my apps start in the last place they saw, and many always start in
the place they like - which is not always the place I want

Some apps always start in their own program directory, which is usually
pretty silly, IMO.
