InitialDirectory on OpenFileDialog

I am explicitly setting the InitialDirectory property on an OpenFileDialog,
after opening, navigating to another dir, close, open again, it does not
start at the InitialDirectory property I am setting, it seems to "remember"
the last dir it looked it.

Is there any way to make it *always* obey the initial directory property?

Thanks in advance!

thanks for the reply. It appears to work as I would expect in release mode,
holds on to last selected dir in debug mode...
