Hi, I use MP3T a lot and find it great - however, when I close out or even shut down PC, previous file opens when I start MP3T again. I normally work on my Desktop, and then put files in downloads. This becomes annoying as I upload probably 20 files a day, some have hundreds of entries, and it's a bit annoying. Can this be fixed please?? Thanks, Wayne ---

You can influence this behaviour in File -\> Options -\> Directories -\> Favorite directory Just create an empty directory, enter it there and check "start from this directory". ---
