Re: How to make a browser download "Always start here"

Well let's clarify by an Windows XP user ;-)

When you click Save As in firefox (and in many other programs) you get a 
dialog which look like this:
On top a directory selector followed by a toolbar.
Then on the left the so-called places bar which contains icons for
Recently used, Desktop, My Documents, My Computer, Network
Followed by the file selector area above the file name and type input 
fields.

If you click on "My Documents" the current folder is changed to "My 
Documents".
This is an Windows XP feature, not firefox.

BTW: Using the "TweakUI XP" of "Powertoys for Windows XP" you can change 
this  five places to any location you want.
