Starting with 0.9.16, Ethereal will "remember" the last directory that a file was opened in and use that to set its "File Open" dialog path. This is default behavior, and the "change shortcut" method will not work after the first file has been opened.
In 0.9.16 you set the default directory in Edit->Preferences->User Interface: Select the "Always start in directory" button and type the path in the box below.

How to change the Ethereal default path to my default capture files folder ?
By default any time that I run Ethereal he goes to the path that you can see
in the attached screen shots.


Create a shortcut to Ethereal, and edit its properties to run the
program from a different directory. Ethereal uses its current directory
to open capture files.
