Hello
Is there a way to set the default folder for opening the FilePicker dialog box?

when webview2 profile is new, filepicker opens in documents folder
when i browse ans select file, the last folder is memorized.
where is it stored?
I did not find a file containing this information...

and when i force values in registry (via LastVisitedPidlMRU and other keys, I have used this technique before for IE11 and it worked fine), settings in not working with webview2...

thank you in advance
