According to TC help there is no default. However, when saving tabs to a file the save dialog will be opened in the last used directory; this is done by Windows automatically. Due to this it looks like there is a default.

When TabDir isn't set yet, TC uses the current directory of the active panel as the default.

Thank you indeed.

I am trying to clean my quite old wincmd.ini of settings that have the default value. I wonder whether this is useful or should I not even bother.

You should not bother.
