In other words, it's irritating the donkey out of me when I open the program and the last folder that was open in the program and thus all of its files are reloaded.

I want to be able to "choose" WHEN I load files into the program and WHAT.  
I don't like "auto" crap... unless it's something I want and need. Period. LOL

Thanks.

See here:

> When MP3Tag starts, the previous folder accessed is selected, and it is opened. Is there a way to tell MP3Tag NOT to remember the last folder? It's rare that I want to go into the same one as before.
