I'm using XP. When I use Windows Explorer -> Edit -> Copy
To Folder, the same folder comes up time after time. This
is not the usual folder I would like to copy to and I have
to navigated to the desired folders each time. I was
expecting the function to remember the last folder I
copied to, or at least go back to the My Documents folder.
How can I get Explorer to default to another folder when I
use the Copy to Folder function?

Very odd, Loretta. I use Move to Folder and Copy to Folder often enough
that I have added them to my standard toolbar in Explorer. Both will
remember the last folder that a file was moved to/copied to on my system.
Wild guess here for why yours doesn't work... Do you use any software that
can be configured to erase your history at log off?
