I have tried to look into this a bit more today.

It seems that when I press the C:\ directory in the File-dialogue then the
ethereal icon "start in:" directory is shown
instead of the C:\ directory (e.g. the mib-directory). However I don't
understand why.
I can then normally use the "..\" entry to get to the correct directory, but
this is of coures not so good.

I also noticed that if I want to specify C:\ as the directory to start up in
"Always start up in directory"
from Edit/Preferences.../User Interface I need to specify it as "C:\\" (if I
specify it as "C:\" the file dialogue will use the ethereal icon "start in:"
directory instead).

It seems that I can get everything to work quite well if I set the start-in
directory to "C:\\" by changing Properties by right-clicking
on the Ethereal icon.
Then it seems to work well both for the scenario when using "Always start up
in directory .." and "Remember last directory".
When I select "C:\" I really get the C:\ directory.

I tested this on Windows XP.
