sDesigner offers wrong data folder

I was until yesterday running Sesame 2.6.2, today upgraded to 2.6.3.  Yesterday sDesigner threw up C:\Sesame\Program as the only available folder in which to look for the application I am designing.

The application, of course, is in C:\Sesame2\data.  How do I change the working folder?

Solved it like this: -
1. Navigate in Windows Explorer to C:Sesame2\Data
2. Double click on the .dsr I wanted
3. Sesame asked me to specify the program I wanted to open it with.
4. Specify sDesigner.exe from C:\Sesame2\Program
5.Application opens.

HOWEVER, closing it again and attempting the regular process reveals nothing changed! I'm still offered the wrong folder (C:Sesame2\Program) in which to look for my new application. Bleh. Any and all help received with thanks.

Hello John,

Right click on your Sesame Designer Icon
Choose Properties
Switch to the shortcut tab
Change the Start In: to "C:\Sesame2"

Fixed by changing the 'Start In' folder on the sDesigner Icon Properties tab.  (Right click on the desktop icon, choose properties and set the 'Start in' folder.  But I'm naturally curious to know how it got changed?  Rule out kids (I'm 78) and grandchildren (not allowed in my study) but perhaps not keyboard cats!
