Actually, it looks like in 0.9.16 there's a bug that prevents this from
working properly - basically, from the GUI you can't select the option
to "Always start in directory".
I've submitted a patch to fix this.
As a workaround, however, you can edit your "preferences" file
manually. Basically change:
gui.fileopen.style: SPECIFIED
gui.fileopen.dir: <whatever dir you want to open by default. Don't
forget the trailing slash or backslash!>
They'll default to "LAST_OPENED" and "(null)", respectively, the first
time you generate a preferences file with 0.9.16.

Starting with 0.9.16, Ethereal will "remember" the last directory that
a file was opened in and use that to set its "File Open" dialog path.
This is default behavior, and the "change shortcut" method will not
work after the first file has been opened.
In 0.9.16 you set the default directory in Edit->Preferences->User
Interface: Select the "Always start in directory" button and type the
path in the box below.

How to change the Ethereal default path to my default capture files
folder ?
By default any time that I run Ethereal he goes to the path that you
can see
in the attached screen shots.
Create a shortcut to Ethereal, and edit its properties to run the
program from a different directory. Ethereal uses its current
directory
to open capture files.
