I am not using Windows or the version of Livecode you are using so I am not testing this but when it comes to using paths you might want to make sure what path is being provided.
If the path returned includes a file name then it might not work properly for listing that directory because it is trying to list the directory of the file name instead of the folder the file is in. This behavior could also cause your program to not see something making you think the default folder is not working properly when it might be the path the default folder is using ends with the file name.
