In Visual Studio (I'm using 2010) is there a way to change which folder pops up by default when you go to open a file?

There are two methods for setting the initial path to your C:\MINE directory. The first is to enter the path into the Data field in this dialog box. Either overwrite the current path or place it in front of the current path. If multiple paths are defined in the field, they will need to be separated with a semi-colon.
OpenFileDialog component opens the Windows dialog box for browsing and selecting files. To open and read the selected files, you can use the OpenFileDialog. OpenFile method, or create an instance of the System.
The InitialDirectory property is typically set using one of the following sources: A path that was previously used in the program, perhaps retained from the last directory or file operation. A path read from a persistent source, such as an application setting, a Registry or a string resource in the application.
For Visual Studio 2017 and 2019 you'll have to navigate from Tools->Options (Alt+T, O) then Projects and Solutions->Locations, there are 3 Locations but you will only need to edit the Projects location and click OK. No need to restart VS.

There are a bunch of file locations in the registry at HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0. The one you need to change is DefaultFileOpenLocation.
