Feature Request : Better default export location #68

When you click a key and export

If you don't specify a path, it will save to the context folder (in the case of an elevated TotalReg, that's going to be c:\windows\system32)

And if you don't specify an extension, it will not have one.

In the above case, here is the result

I suggest, if the export path has no extension, add .reg as a courtesy to the user

If it is a filename with no path (a relative path)

I would prefer save to desktop, that's probably the easiest place to find at all times.

Or, if totalreg is not running inside an admin-only folder or inside %windir% / c:\windows , then saving to totalreg.exe's folder might work too. But I think for most users, just saving to user desktop folder is probably the best.

Thank you for making this great software. I hope it completely eclipses microsoft's own, abandonned regedit.exe

Just like notepad++ has done for notepad.exe
