CS4 Photo downloader - can I change the default path?

Question

I'm using Bridge on Windows 7 x64. I have 2 hard drives exclusively for photographs. I never, ever store them in 'C:\Users\Mary\Pictures'.   But when I download images with the Photo Downloader, C:\Users\Mary\Pictures' is the folder I'm offered. There's no box in which to paste a folder string - and it takes 9 clicks (including a couple in the scroll bar of the dialog box) to navigate to 'S:\Pictures, Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans\[current subfolder]'.  Is there any way of making the downloader believe that I always want to download to S:\Pictures,  Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans\....? I'm used to editing the Registry, but I can't find anything to edit in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Bridge CS4\Preferences.  Thanks  Mary

Curt  You're right, it is something in Win 7.
I remembered that I have CS4 on my laptop, which is still running WinXP, and tried the Photo Downloader there. It had remembered the last folder I pointed it to, way back in September.
I then found a note telling myself what I had done to stop Bridge from using the c:\docs & settings\.....my pictures folder in XP. I'd used a utility that changes your default pictures, videos, etc., folders to whatever you want them to be.
I never keep anything in them, so I  used the utility in Win 7  to change the default Pictures folder to 'S:\Z\ Pictures'.  When I opened Bridge Photo Downloader, the 'location' folder was  now 'S:\Z\ Pictures'. I navigated from there to 'S:\Pictures,  Initial\2 - Initial Negative Scans\2010 Initial Scans', created a subfolder, uploaded some raw files from the card reader, closed Bridge, and rebooted. 
When I re-opened Bridge and the Photo Downloader, it still pointed to my last used folder. Triumph!
Thanks for your help. I wouldn't have got there without it.
I'll look on the Windows 7 forum to find out whether there's a less drastic way of doing this. After all, some people may want to keep their C:\Users\[user]\Pictures folder for non-Photoshop pix. There should be a way of doing it.
