I used to struggle with this one too. But I've found a way to make it
work for me.
I found that OOo remembers what directory I used last and will start
from there. Now when I use the quickstarter there are two ways to open a
document.
1. Double clicking the icon.
2. Right clicking the icon.
I use option 1 for documents in my 'default-directory' and option 2 for
all other documents.
As a third option I regularly use XYplorer (Windows explorer
replacement) to navigate to a directory to open OOo-documents.

Many thanks for your reply. I'm afraid I can't find where to make the
setting that ensures, when going to find and open a file after
startup, it always opens at my main "Jeremy" directory. All can find
is in "Paths", the "My Documents" setting, which I have set to my main
"Jeremy" directory.
What it does every time at present is show the directory of the file I
last used.

Sorry to bother you. I can't seem to get the 'start' directory to
stay as I
have set it in "paths" - it just opens at the one I last used, even
when I
have closed the application and re-opened it. Any advice please?
Where(or how) are you setting the "start" directory ?
