Any way to specify a default folder for importing?

I know one can set folders for various things, but I cannot find a way to set default folders for importing files, EG midi files...(on my system my midi files are all in one folder (broken down into sub-categories of course, but all in one main folder)...so was wondering if I could set this folder as a default. But apparently not haha!
 
Any ideas?
Thanks

    The MIDI default uses the "Project Files" path in Preferences > File > Folder Locations. It is possible to add the MIDI files folder as a directory junction to the top of the Import dialog. For example, if the MIDI files were in a folder "D:\My MIDI" add a junction to the "Project Folder" path.
     
    In Win8.1 and older, open a command shell in the "Project Folder" path and type
    mklink /j _myMIDI "D:\My MIDI"
     
    In Win10 open a powershell in the "Project Folder" path and type
    New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "_myMIDI" -Value "D:\My MIDI"
     
     
     
    Another option is adding the MIDI folder to the Content Location menu in the Media Browser and import files using the browser.
