Don't store your files in the Python33 directory even though it is idle's default suggestion. I have my Python code sitting in appropriate subdirectories of a 'Projects' folder somewhere (on a different drive on my Windows system, or just a subfolder in my homedirectory on my Linux VM). I don't use idle myself, but you can simply browse to the appropriate folder and file location. Idle will remember that location for the next time you use the file dialog.
