You can also fill the root property in in the control IDE if you want;

If you set the root property which I assume you have, it should work ie:
eg in Form_Open() put

Filechooser1.root = "/the/directory/I/want/to/start/in"

If your problem is somewhat more esoteric post the project tar.gz file.

Not sure how experienced you are with gambas, but if you are stuck for not 
knowing how to set something, note that the properties in the IDE  for that 
control can by and large by  addressed as such in code ie

control.property = 

Also browing the help will give you the properties/methods, but unfortunately 
usually no examples.
