Changing the default behavior of where files are saved in windows

Kind of a Admin question - I know. Here's the thing.

The OS has this deep, strange assumsion that a user wants all there pictures in one folder, all there doc files in another folder - etc. Saveing files based on file type - not the folder in which it was opened.

I, like many business/dev users have my drive devided into folders based on 'projects'. All 'SmithProject' images goes in SmithProject, All JonesProject Images goes in JoneProject.

Why do I spend so much time fighting the OS when it wants to save all files into a folder based on file type? (No - windows - I don't want it in the 开发者_如何学Pythonpictures folder)

Is there not some simple way / setting to define how this works?

I figure, I loose 1-2 hours a week - just because i have to nav back to the same folder, again & again & again.

Any Pluggin?

Anything?

Thanks

Without changing special folders locations (My Documents, etc) it could be hard to achieve. Normally in app, when You call OpenFileDialog You can specify where to start (f.ex: always c:\, last opened folder, special folder) and there is no power in the universe to change this.
