Default Browse Location

Is there a way to force the browse button on an input box to default to a specific location? I have a folder which resides at C:\Folder. Folder contains several files that I commonly use in macros, so I want C:\Folder to be the folder that pops up when I click the Browse button.

That did it, thanks!
It's good to know the Help files are actually helpful, too. I'll remember that.
