Specify File Path In Tkinter File Dialog

I have a file dialog to open a file, however, the file that I want to open is in a different directory than the program I wrote. The file dialog opens to the directory where I am.

Solution 1:

What you want is:

root.fileName = tkFileDialog.askopenfilename(initialdir = "C:/<whatever>")

This argument will allow you to specify the directory to which the window will open up.
