notepad++ improve save as feature?

[unwashed potato!]

using notepad++ recently, well i always thought i was but turned out that was only notepad2, but anyway one thing which really gets to me is it's lame save as feature, in that everytime it will automatically go to the notepad++ folder rather then last used and there is no short cuts on the left, only the current folder meaning i have to click back back back back back until i get to desktop and then go from there.

is there anyway to improve it? plugin perhaps?

the open feature is fine and what it should be like so don't understand what it has asuch a bad save as.

downloaded the e trial earlier, had a play around and it seemed pretty cool, would take a while to get used to the short cuts but definitely handy, couldn't find a way to view more then one tab at the same time like in notepad++, which is why i used it, is there a way and im being silly or is this something it can't do? thanks
