on unixes, when you do find-file, the default path is the path of the
current buffer's file.
On emacsW32 (Windows), the default path (sometimes) is the last
directory opened.
Is this intentional? How can i set it to the normal emacs behavior?
Thanks.

Please give me an example. I have not seen this.

I don't get this mis-behavior. My emacs 22.3 works as expected in this
respect.

This is how emacsW32 works for me. If my current buffer is a file
located in C:/scripts/foo.pl, then when I C-x C-f the default
directory will be C:/scripts/.
If *Scratch* is my active buffer and I C-x C-f, then .../Emacs32/emacs/bin/
Is this _not_ how it's supposed to work?
