uigetdir niggle

Hello, this is a bit of a niggle rather than an actual problem with Matlab but here goes!

I use the "uigetdir" command in several applications; this opens a windows dialog box from which the user can select a directory. After updating to Windows 7, the behaviour of this dialog box has changed.

Previously, using windows XP, the dialog box would open at the folder designated in the command arguement; i.e. uigetdir("\somefolder")

Now, using windows 7, although the folder structure is expanded to the location in the arguement, the view remains firmly at the top of the box so that you must scroll down to find the relavent folder. This becomes a chore when the location is many folders into a server location, and the command is often used!

Is there a hidden option to change this behavior?

Thanks for your time on this slightly silly problem!

The Windows Explorer has a similar behaviour. When I double click on a folder in the navigation pane at the left, the folder moves down under some circumstances. When I click on the small triangle on the left side to open it, the behaviour is more intuitive. I'm looking for a method to change this also.
