On launch, the defaultfolder is set to the folder containing the
executable. On desktop this is the folder containing livecode. In a
standalone it's the folder containing the app (which on Mac is inside the
bundle.) But any time you change the defaultfolder it stays there, it
doesn't set itself back automatically.

Thanks JB. Getting and setting the default folder was not the issue. The
issue is that in a wondows standalone, a stack in the same folder as the
executable could not be opened by script eg. open stack "Devices". This
seems to be a new development, as I am fairly certain this worked fine in
the past. ALL stack files in a standalone ought to be discoverable no
matter what the defaultFolder is.

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.
