consistent view in dialog box

[gordon]

Hi

when you use a dialog box such as 'file - open' in an office or similar app,
the listing inside the dialog box is always different to what i want. I
like to have details and sorted by date, but i always have to do this
manually.

is there a better way - or a way to establish a consistent view?

Cheers

Doug

No. Use windows as designed.

David thanks for your extemely helpful suggestion. But I don't like the
'Windows as designed' way because it always takes too much time to sort
through the directories and files.

Anyone else got an idea about how to change these defaults?

Cause they don't. BECAUSE THER IS NO DATA STORED ANYWHERE. However you can change the sort.

Once again David, thanks for your clever response. Anyone who knows
something about windows XP and can email in a polite way would be welcome to
respond.

If lucky you'll get the usual wrong answer that won't help. I can tell you this answer.
