Default file path dilemma

Hello.

I have a G5 running OSX 10.4.7. The problem is that for some reason, this one computer will not open files from the last directory. Normally, when using Quark, PhotoShop, etc. and you were to go to either "File > Open" or to import a picture into Quark for example, you would get the last file path used. This one workstation always opens to either the "Documents" folder or the "Users" folder on our file server. You can re-save the file to the correct directory/location, and it will never remember where it was last.

I have deleted just about every com.apple preference that I thought could be causing this problem, repaired disc permissions and have had no luck. All of the other workstations on our network do not seem to have this problem (and they are all set-up from an image master - so they are all identical) so I am totally at a loss for this annoying problem. The computer is running normal other than this issue. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Actually this still doesn't work. I'm using m-powered protools. Whenever I want to import a file into a session I'm working on the computer never seems to remember where I last copied and saved to. This is SO aggravating...pls let me know if you had any progress on this problem. Thx
 
After deleting every possible pref that was even remotely related to this problem and consulting with several other IT pros - I gave up and just rebuilt the system from one of our master disc images. That only took about an hour, versus all of the time I spent on trying to fix the problem.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
