==================================
I believe it is possible.  Look lower on the non-standard piece of
crap (which I agree it is).  I believe there's a button you can click
to select a different directory than the one offered.  I don't have my
laptop home (and for some VERY strange reason this didn't happen on my
home box where I'm also running FC3 w/ OO;  I still get the "old"
interface),  I'll check on Monday if you haven't found the solution by
then.
