Is there a way to change the position a RequestFile/RequestDir
dialog will show up at?

Not without messing with BRL.System. but the code is pretty simple, you could easily adapt it for your own needs.

Thanks for the pointer (I should of looked around before asking :/), however the c code nor the blitzmax code (win32) has anything in place to set the default (x=0 y=0) position.

Neither of the functions (SHBrowseForFolder and GetOpenFileName) have parameters for xy positions, nor do the structures built up prehand for those functions (OPENFILENAME and BROWSEINFO, see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646839(VS.85).aspx and http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb773205(VS.85).aspx)

But they do have a callback function that can receive messages, you can add your positioning there ;)
