This would seem to be some kind of a Windows Form kind of thing and it seems that CNC12 doesn't use the standard Open File form or something else is going on behind the scenes (best/worst description of it). The only thing I have found that makes it open to the last used folder, is to do this...

Open Windows File Explorer and go to 'View/Options/Change folder and search options' and check 'Show frequently used folders in Quick access' and for the fun of it, 'Clear file explorer history', the F2/Load windows select a file dialog will now remember your last loaded location. It might take a CNC12 reload to get it started. This has to be redone anytime you update CNC12 and you may occasionally want to remove folders from the Quick Launch list either manually with a right click or by going through the above steps again to flush it.
