every once in a while I click on a profile icon to change the image and the folder that comes up is not the one I want. Can I set a default folder that comes up when I click on a image to change my current image on a website profile?
I don't think it is any website that dictates which folder opens when a request on a website is made to change a profile image. It is Windows that opens the folder not the website so there has to be a setting that when a website calls for a folder to be opened that has images it can be set in windows??
I am not sure if that is possible. But a quick and dirty workaround is to right click the folder you want to use and select Pin to Quick Access. File Explorer will (should) automatically default to displaying the folders of Quick Access when you open it. But this will not be the default when you attempt to browse from a change avatar Browse button. Instead, it defaults to the last folder used, whatever that happens to be. You will need to use the scroll bar of the left navigation pane to scroll up to Quick Access if using a small screen (laptop or not maximised window), but it is still faster.

Thanks for your reply but there has to be something in windows that is set for when a website calls for a folder to open. just hope I find the answer. Oh yeah one important thing I left out of my OP like a fool is the folder that opens whenever a website calls for a folder for a image is a thumb drive I have in a USB slot. you'd think it would call from my computer drives which I have 4 before the USB drive and I know if I pull it out another folder will open in that situation but I dont want to have to pull the USB drive pout every time this happens
There is for Downloads in Chrome Settings>>Downloads. But I am pretty certain Windows does not offer a default for any Browse button becasue they appear in so many different circumstances. All kinds of different software and all kinds of web-based scenarios.
Whereas maybe a web developer could hard-code the default folder for their Browse button, they rarely, if ever, do, alas. I've certainly never come across it. I really don't think there is a solution for this issue built into Windows. The reason for my thinking is that many people will want to save some images in a \Documents folder (for example), or any other path. I often save images in the relevant document folder to keep everything together in one place. And I do this for many different folders.
I don't think there's any easy solution for this, if it's even possible. I guess you could write a script?
