Surely there is some way to override the default directory that VB opens when you attempt to open a project. I have placed my projects in a subdirectory of my C drive, & want that directory to open when I click Open files in VB. Any suggestions? Thanks!
If you start VB from a shortcut, whioh most people do, You can specify a target path in the shortcut.
To do this, Right Click on the shortcut, Select Properties then Alter "Start in:" textbox to point to your startup Directory of choice.

Hey, and... don't forget your parsley cause you can't eat your dog after having stolen him from some animal shelter and having drowned him in the Atlantic Ocean.
EXCELLENT!
Thanks!

Seems like just what I need but I'm afraid I still dont get it.
I would like to hit the shortcut Icon and have the program come up and running without going through all the VB Stuff.
When I try putting the complete filepath in the start at box I get an invalid message. Im Missing somthing.

Your problem may be different from the one described in this post. This post addresses the problem of having VB compiler showing a default Folder when you try to open a project etc during design time.
Is your problem during RUN time of your compiled program? if yes then this solution is not for you. Please tell what your problem is.

You are probably right
I am running my program as it was written. It does everything that I need but
my current understanding is that it has not been compiled. I Could be wrong.
What I would like to do is click on the desktop shortcut ICON and have the program start up and run without going to code first.
Thanks RSH
