Ditch the Mac. :-)

If you *have* ditched the Mac, and you are working
on a PC, someone is having fun with you. (I'd suspect
your office mate.) Find the General tab on the
File->Preferences menu and de-select the Change
Directory on Open checkbox.

If you are running on Unix, something is very, very
weird.

Best Regards,

David

P.S. Let's just say you could always learn the nuances
of the CD command and its keywords, if worst comes to worst.
