change file open dialog settings

[John]

How can I make a tweak so that the "file open" dialog box opens up in
the "details" mode, rather than list?

File listings are easier to run through, when the scroll up and down,
instead of side to side.

Any advice, registry hack, or settings tweak, that can accomplish
this?

Thanks,

John

Hi John,

There is no solution, registry hack, AFAIK.
