Is it possible to set the default user data directory?

In MapPoint 2009, is it possible to set the default directory for user data? By that I mean when you do File/Open, it comes up in My Documents every time, and it doesn't seem to remember the last directory used. Can I change the default starting directory for user files?

Hi,

this is a registry setting. you can change this in registry, but then it is changed for all programs.

This sounds like a "Vista" way of doing things. How dare you put files in a different place!

Earlier versions of MapPoint would use the previous path.
