    Resolved change default dir for existing projects [rslvd]

    there a way to change VB default dir when you click open ? like open
    a new vb project ?

    mine always starts in the vb app.path.. I want it to start in my D drive under
    my vb programs.. so I dont have to navigate over there..

    I didnt see this option anywhere.. in some vb ini ?

    It's not an option anywhere unfortunately, but there is a simple workaround - in the shortcut to VB (on your start menu/desktop/etc), change the "Start In" path to the folder you want.
