How can I change the default view in my Save As/Open dialogs? I always
comes up in 'List' view and I prefer 'Details'.

TIA,
David

Or this one.

Eh? No, simply set the View in the Open/Save As, and then hold Ctrl
button and click on the X to close the dialog box. That view will be saved.

This seems to work with the MS Office Suite only. It doesn't seem to
extend to IE 6 or Photoshop so it's not OS-wide.

Sorry but OpenWide doesn't appear to change anything other than its own
test dialog.

OS: Windows XP Home SP1a

Thanks,

Make sure that all applications are closed when you set the Open Wide options. Leave Open Widw running in the Notification area. Now open your applications and access the Open or Save As dialog boxes.
