I am suddenly having a problem with Illustrator. File Open no longer goes to last folder, it opens to the top of the menu, every time. It was working, now its not. Rebuilding the preferences did not help.What happened here? All other Adobe programs and functions doing OK. I am using illustrator CS5 on Mac OSX 10.10.3 and yes this coincided with the last OS X update a week ago May 3rd.
iMac DV (Slot Loading), OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
It's possible 10.10.3 broke it.
have you tried a clean uninstall

I'm no longer on CS5 but Adobe's position is they will not support it on Yosemite. I'd ask at the adobe forums.
I am unable to reinstall with out upgrading. I have the question on the Adobe forum, apparently this was an issue over a year ago also, but no fix. Thank you
I just posted a question over there a moment ago (different issue) your assessment of their response is pretty much on the nose.
Is this over a mounted volume or is this over a mounted disk or the boot drive or does it happen in one scenario and not another?
I dont understand this question... (Is this over a mounted volume or is this over a mounted disk or the boot drive or does it happen in one scenario and not another?) Software and files on on my iMac hard drive.
is the folder on your"Macintosh HD" or somewhere else? what is the path to the folder (e.g. "Macintosh HD:Users:You:Documents:Project X")
Yes on my hard drive local, yes on location
and it defaults to "desktop"? or some other location?
is there a switch for the dialog box to use "adobe" or "os"?
addendum edit:
I just spoke to four graphic artists I support who use CS5, CS6 etc all on Mavericks; They all stated there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how it behaves with remembering or forgetting folders which is probably what the consensus is on the Adobe forum post you found.
It defaults every time to documents folder now, before last Yosemite update to went to last folder. Which also messes up the relink functions for placed images. Gotta do each one. Very big time drag. No switch in dialog box apparent.
Interesting Save As goes back to original folder.
