Thanks. Sorry guys, I'll try to be a little clearer.  First, I should have mentioned, yes, first thing I tried was resetting prefs, no change.  Coming from CS4, just started to try CS6 on a borrowed laptop, was never working properly for me (or the owner, who never used Save for Web)  Re: step 3, etc.   yes the file originally opens in ACR, I'll edit the OP to reflect that.  If you would, have a look back at my edited post & see if it makes any more sense.  The issue seems to be w/ the way that Save For Web and Photoshop CS6 are communicating recent file/pathnames with each other, and it is markedly different than CS4, which, when Saving For Web, ALWAYS prompts for a file/folder the FIRST time for any given working file in PS.
