SUMMARY
=======

Windows Sound System Sound Finder ignores the working directory specified in the
Program Manager Program Item Properties dialog box for Sound Finder.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Because Sound Finder is intended to be used to browse across an entire hard disk
or even a network, it maintains its own initial directory setting in the
[SNDFINDER] section of the SNDSYS.INI file. To change this setting, open the
SNDSYS.INI file using Windows Notepad, set the StartDirectory= line to the
default drive and directory of your choice, and save the file. Sound Finder will
now use that directory as its initial directory to browse.
