Default folder for email attachment keeps going back to desktop

Question

I'm using Yahoo mail to send email attachments  located in same folder but I send different files to different email. I'm using a folder that is located on a flash drive and I'm having trouble keeping the same folder opened for the next attachment. The browse would just open desktop folder and I have to locate the folder for each email. The default folder seems to be the desktop. I was wondering how I can change the default folder to open the recent opened folder that was used recently. On Windows XP, using the same email client, the folder stays opened but with vista, the desktop folder always opens as deafult. Thank you

Thanks for the reply.

My computer does not do that. It goes to the desktop folder. Even with the way the tutorial shows, I still have to reopen the folder starting from desktop folder. What could be the problem? I'm clicking 5 items everytime to reopen the folder that should be opened for me. I have no problem with Win XP. I get this problem with Vista only on both the desktop and notebook.

Hey DreamKid,

While attaching a document from flashdrive, the next time you click on attachment it should take you to the same folder which you opened earlier. While digging for more information, I came across this tutorial from yahoo which shows how to attach multiple files at a time by browsing or via drag and drop. I strongly felt that the tutorial might be of assitance to you while attaching in email.

Here’s the link:
