This is really beginning to annoy me. :-(

OK, I could understand if it comes up somewhere near
my default IDL Workspace. But why in Documents and
Settings, which is nowhere near my IDL Workspace?
I looked for a setting in the Registry that would set
this, but no luck. Surely this is a configurable option.

Cheers,

David

P.S. I did do the change directories on open thing, but
having a random location is almost worse than have a
certain (but lousy) location. :-(
