Toolbox-SW2005, can it be set to a default folder to go to?

Toolbox-SW2005, can it be set to a default folder to go to?

(OP)
I mostly use socket head cap screws, and would like to insert them from tool box, but have to click thru directories in the design library way to many times.  Has anyone found a way to set it so that it always starts at the same folder, like "ansi inch-bolts and screws-socket headscrews" for example?

Go to TOOLS-OPTIONS-DATA OPTIONS-Edit Standards Data...

Form there you can turn off and on different Data folders that appear in your toolbox.
