Change default open file dialog box to DETAILS view?

[Bill Gates]

When I try to open a file and get the open file dialog box I would
like to set the default on the "View Menu" to the DETAILS option
rather than the LIST option that it is set to now. It is a pain to
have to change that option every time.


Thanks

The Open/Save As default view type can't be changed. Here is a workaround.
