Right click on the Gimp icon on the Windows deskbar or desktop. Select Properties and modify the "Start in:" directory according to your requirement, for example "C:\Documents and Settings\user.name\Desktop".

Oops.

One thing I've noticed is that the Sub-windows keep opening behind the primary GIMP window. I keep thinking, why didn't that work, when I see the flashing icon and realize the little window is hiding. This is the only program I've seen do that, that I can recall. They usually stand out in front demanding attention, before you can proceed.

You may be better off using Single Window mode. Window->Single-Window mode.

I may take my embarrassment back. It doesn't seem to work for me.

I am. I like it that way, but the little windows do not come to the front.

Oh I see. I don't have that problem.

Nice one Stephanie

Another nice one Archie Borg

There is a more straightforward way to make your border without messing with paths.

1. Create a new layer and fill with any colour.
2. Perform steps 1 to 5 as above
3. Edit->Clear to remove the middle.
4. Layer->Transparency->Alpha to Selection. This selects the border
5. Now you can fill the selection as desired.

That looks a good selection Tom.

Have modified the procedure with your Version 2. Thanks

It's beginning to come back to me now. It's frightening how much you can forget in 18 months.
