In MC, "Options > Startup > Startup Interface" set "Location" to "Last Location" and that should be you all sorted.
Also, a kind of related tip...
If you have a preferred set of tabs, you can save them. In the toolbar, under '
View', you will find "Load/Save View", which does just that. Set your tabs as you like, and save. Next time they have drifted a long way from what you like, go back there and load the view you saved and, relax
I have a few saved, for my preferred default tabs, and a couple of specific ones for when I'm working on photos. It works very well.
