IS there way you can change the default folder the send files thing goes on?

Tools > options > file transfer... "save recieved files in...."  click change button after that and alter. Is that what you are looking for?

If you mean per contact then wait a little longer, Dempsey and Eljay are already working on WhoSentIt

no i mean, when you click 'Send File' It automatically opens up to MY Documents, is theree anyway you can change that?

I know it's not in the .dll things [thanks sunshine ) but can it be done and will someone do it?

I doubt there is a simple way to do that. It certainly can't be done trough normal settings and i highly doubt just scripting could do it.

Normally, and as with many such file dialogs, they open on the last used folder; it is the default Windows thing.

Though, in WLM it seems (can't check atm) that this is hard coded. If it is hard coded it could _maybe_ be patched...

Yes Cookie is right normally they open on the last used folder,but in send file dialog msn call always the api shgetfolderpathw to get the documents folder....it can be patched....you can modify the code here:
006423B2   .  68 04010000   PUSH 104                                             ; /Arg2 = 00000104
006423B7   .  8D85 E8FDFFFF LEA EAX,DWORD PTR SS:[EBP-218]                       ; |
006423BD   .  50            PUSH EAX                                             ; |Arg1
006423BE   .  E8 EDC30C00   CALL 0070E7B0                                        ; \msnmsgr.0070E7B0
or in a routine at 0070e7b0........Sorry for my english

This is a patch example it changes the default folder as desktop.....The patch uses the same api function to get the desktop folder
