How do you set the default directory to start in when you add an attachment in notes? Working Dir doesn't look to be the one, currently it is looking in h:\lotus\notes\data, I want it to go to h:\
 
You can set the FileDlgDirectory ini variable at startup. One way to do this would be to start Notes from a batch file and before notes.exe runs use the find command to filter out the FileDlgDirectory= line from notes.ini then use the copy command to append the FileDlgDirectory=h:\ line to the file. This only sets it at startup, after changing the location in the file dialog the last chosen location is always used in that Notes session.
