ask file different behavior on Win7

Hello,

 

when using: ask file "foo" with tFile

tFile may be: "C:\foo\foo.txt"

Win XP opens the file dialog, showing as location the folder of the given
tFile (C:\foo\) and prompting for the filename as in tFile (foo.txt)

Win 7 opens the file dialog, showing as location my standalone folder
(C:\program files\blabla\mystandalone.exe) and prompting for the filename
with the full path and filename (C:\foo\foo.txt) This behavior is very
irritating, because you see another folder, as the file is located. I use it
for writing a file afterwards. It works because of the full file path , but
you don't get what you see.

 

Is this change Win 7 standard or is it a Rev thing or do I oversee anything?

Thanks for any hints

Tiemo
