Actually the closer you look at it the "Remember this....." option is not needed for folders at all, except for some unknown reason one wished to switch default folder handlers

The same can be said for files - the option is of no value there whatsoever - defaults are set in properties

In both cases (files and folders), anything chosen from the 'Other Application' menu is added to the 'open with' menu whether the 'remember' box is enabled or not

If there is some reason to have the option fine - there is no reason to have it set to active by default

I truly fail to see what the problem is here in addressing this, but is is truly anoying when every day people post on forums asking why there places folders are being opened w/ some app or in some rare cases not at all.
