Hi,

Here's my situation: During the user's execution of my program, they must go to a third party's website and submit a file created by my porgram. My program opens a browser and sends them to the site. They click on a Browse button to select the file, ect. ect. I want to change to directory that opens up when they click the browse button.

Does anyone know how to do this? I would like to also restore the default directory to what it was before they ran my program.

I would like a solution that will work for Win 98,Me,XP.

Thanks

I believe each browser keeps track of it's own last Save As location here is where it is kept for Internet Explorer.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Download Directory


Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.
