Windows 10: Problem with Windows Explorer last used folder...

I download files and images all the time from a web browser but it always defaults to the "save to" folder in Chrome. Chrome will not except an empty field in the settings “save to” field. Even when ask where to save files to is checked.

My problem is that I am always creating new folders and it is a pain in the ass to always have to browse to where I want to download to. Sometimes these folders are 3-4 levels deep. And when you are downloading say... 20-30 files, It's a royal pain.

So, I need to be able to get Windows 10 setup so I can have it open to the last used folder anytime I do a right click to save a file from the web.

None of the recent file or folder settings apply to this.

I tried EYplorer and it will not do this.

Thanks,
John

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows Explorer crashes and thumbnails problem

Hi, I hope you can help me.
Windows Explorer is no longer showing thumbnails on files played by Windows Media Player. I've run cmd and regsvr32 shmedia.dll and regsvr32 shimgvw.dll. That seemed to solve the problem...but it created a different one. Now when I try to open a folder on an external hard drive it crashes. I read in an old 2008 post it was an avi file causing the problem and suggested the run cmd regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll. That solved the opening problem but recreated the thumbnail problem. Any help to achieve both functions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
