I attempt to use the InitialDirectory property of the Save File Dialog control, but the property is mostly ignored in favor of the most recent directory that was used. Is there a way to ensure that the InitialDirectory property is actually being used? I don't understand why this isn't the default directory every time. Does anyone know?

well, I've got something that works fairly well, not sure if it's what you're looking for though.
SaveFileDialog savedlg = new SaveFileDialog();
savedlg.InitialDirectory = Path.GetDirectoryName(Filename);
hopefully that helps, maybe?
