File Names appearing in reverse

C

Charlene

WinXP recently has started showing filenames and folders in reverse order
in dialogue boxes for saving or opening and when opening a folder so it goes
from z-a not a-z.
This is very irritating and wastes a lot of time. In order to counteract
this every time I have to :
1) Go to the 'View menu'
2) Select 'Details'
3) Click 'Name' to force the list back into ascending alpha order.
4) Then continue my search for my file.


This has irritated me enough now, that I have to do something about it - any
suggestions?

Open the "My Computer" folder. Set the Name column to ascending sort
Tools menu, Option, View tab, click the "Apply to all folders" button
