Browser doesn't remember file path when doing multiple uploads

Question

I allow multiple images to be uploaded to my site. They click "Choose Image" and then are presented with a dialog they can use to select an image from their disk. The image gets uploaded and then they can choose another. However, the next time that they click "Choose Image", they have to re-navigate to their images folder. This makes it not much fun to upload many images.

I am currently using Uploadify, but the user says that the same problem occurs when uploading sample images using the Plupload demo page.

The user is using Windows 7 and IE9. I am also using Windows 7 and IE9 and am not experiencing the issue. I have full admin rights with UAC turned off, so maybe that has something to do with it?

Any ideas? Thanks!

Interesting. I found a post on the Microsoft Answers site that seems to suggest adding the site to your trusted sites fixes the problem (for that site)

Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites

Running Win7 and IE9, I got the same behavior from the Uploadify demo. Adding uploadify to my trusted sites, closing the window and re-opening solved it.
