Assuming you are on Win2k (or possibly Win98), explorer itself remembers 
the directory to open these dialogs in.  It remembers the last directory 
you navigated to, even between runs of the application.  This can be 
prevented by internally passing an explicit directory, but Pythonwin 
chooses not to do this.   In Windows NT/95, the current directory is 
always used.
