José Alfredo Cobián asks:
How in the world do you make Windows 7 to remember to open or continue to save to the last folder you saved to? I can’t find a solution to this problem anywhere and it’s driving me crazy. Any suggestions?
This question has been resolved. You may still add an answer if you think you can add something to the discussion though.

1. Open Windows Explorer, and click on Libraries in the navigation pane.

OR
3. Open the library (ex: Music) that you want to set the default save included folder for.
A) Click on the # Locations toolbar button.
B) Right click on the included folder that you want to set as the default save to folder, then click on Set as default save location.
4. Click on OK.
NOTE: You will notice that the new default save location folder has a check mark next to it.
5. Close the library window when done.
NOTE: You will not see this if you did step 2 instead of step 3.
6. Close the Libraries window when done.
That wasn’t the guy’s question. He wants to know how to get Windows to remember the last folder used, not how to set the default folder. Anyway, many applications set the default folder themselves, ignoring Windows’ setting. This has been a Windows problem since the beginning, IMO.
