Set default local directory to desktop for copy?

I have WinSCP setup in Explorer view and I have it set to automatically copy when I double-click a Remote file. This successfully copes the file from the remote machine to my local computer, but it always goes to My Documents.

Is there a way to change this so it will go to my Desktop folder instead? I looked thru all the settings and did not see this option. There is a setting for Commander view, but it says it is ignored when in Explorer view.

EDIT - SOLVED:
In WinSCP.ini file, look for this:
LastLocalTargetDirectory=C:%5CDocuments%20and%20Settings%5CMyUserName%5CMy%20Documents


and change it to this:
LastLocalTargetDirectory=C:%5CDocuments%20and%20Settings%5CMyUserName%5CDesktop
