Set the InitialDirectory property. MSDN is your friend ;)

Have you read the docs? In case your Google foo is week here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.filedialog.initialdirectory(VS.85).aspx) is a direct link to appropriate field you need to set.

You do need to get your Google foo in order, all this information is readily available. Here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762188(VS.85).aspx) it's a start and this (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb762584(VS.85).aspx) page lists all possible Folders you can get path to it.
