If you have written many programs that do what you want, you should know that you overruled the default of the Operating system.
In windows, every application has a default path,

the path, only when an application opens or saves files using the OS,
and only for that application.

Probably I don't have every application, but the original poster said "I guess I have to go back to MS". Both MS Office and OpenOffice behave the same way when you use the save as function.


Many programs have multiple defaults, and when different applications
invoke them, they provide a different default path.

It's not a big problem, but I can see it could be annoying for someone
who uses OO 'save as' to copy files to external drives.

OpenOffice is an Office application not a copy utility.

I don't, I use
batch files, but was curious if 4.x had implemented it.
