Description
## The Issue
On the first usage, the "Choose File" button in the "Publish" section opens in LBRY install directory. It could be confusing for new users. It could maybe open in "My documents" or "My computer". It remembers the last directory after the first time.
## System Configuration
- LBRY Daemon version: 0.20.4
- LBRY App version: 0.23.0-rc.3
- LBRY Installation ID: 7tYN144rHXrspzJG9xLP28fi1JztXnbpKro6DBJEQyzBmXTyDgqRLfYsUvHYFVmMe2
- Operating system: Win 10

Research direction
Start by reproducing the "Choose File" behavior in the Publish section on Windows and trace the file-picker entry point. The issue is done when first use opens a user-appropriate location rather than the LBRY install directory, while subsequent uses still remember the last directory.
