When I browse, files are not alphabetized. Please Help, Thank You

[Kevin J. Nielsen]

Whenever I browse for a file, all the files are not in alphabetic order and
I have to right click to alphabetize them, but it is a pain. In Windows
Explorer, they are always alphabetized.

Is there any way I can set it so the files are automatically alphabetized??

Thank You

Kevin

Just a comment on right-clicking for this purpose. It's faster to
click the bar that says name ... type... size. Name will alphabetize,
type sort by extension, and so on.

I have done that but it makes everything details, even control panel, which
I like to keep as icons.

I want it to remember the settings I apply to each folder.

Thanks Anyway.

When you browse for a file, there is not a property bar, only in windows
explorer, which I have no problem with.

Thanks Anyway

Kevin,
After you've used the tools/folder options/view/advanced settings to set the
global template, try setting the individual folder to the view you prefer,
then use the header bar File, close (for Control Panel) command to shut the
program, rather than the top right close window 'x' box.
When you re-open, it should be the way you left it, and you can use the 'x'
box again.
Hope this helps
Chek

Thanks anyway, but I am talking about the "browse" window, I dont have any
folder options for the browse feature, in windows explorer they are
alphabetized and I have set the folder options in windows explorer.

Thanks Chek, that worked for Windows Explorer and now all folders are
details, but when I browse for a file, (like when I click start/run/browse)
to run a program, they are still not alphabetized and I have to right click
to alphabetize so I can find the file.

This is a particular pain when I am editing video because when I add
clips, I have to right click and alphabetize for every clip I add, otherwise
I cant find the file I need.

I used the browse to find a file then I right clicked and alphabetized,
then I closed it using the header bar but next time I browse the same
folder, the files are not alphabetized.

Do you know how to make it so that when I browse for a file they will be
alphabetized. They used to be but for some reason they arent anymore.

One of the icons along the top of the Browse window is for Views. If you
set that to Details, then you will see the Name bar that Maureen is
referring to.

Something else you can try for getting the files alphabetized for all
dialog windows. See the following article:

Items in "Open" and "Save As" Dialog Boxes Sorted Incorrectly

It is written for Win98 but the remedy procedure has also been working for
XP users with the same problem.
