Hello all,

I have a weird issue that while it may be cosmetic, it's still annoying me
to death. Whenenever I am browsing a webpage and goto save the webpage,
(this can be in any program that accesses the windows API), I get the
standard 'Save As' screen that appears. On the left it has the big shortcut
links of 'Recent', 'Desktop', 'My Documents', and so forth. In the main
window everything is viewed under the 'List' customization. Normally for
the longest time whenever I select "My Computer" in this save dialog box,
everything in there is organized by name/drive letter. For some reason out
of the blue, it's now constantly showing it in the order of Free Space
rather than Name. However the customizations for all the other windows
properties throughout windows it works properly. It's just inside this Save
As API dialog box where it refuses to stick on 'list by name' but keeps
going back to 'list by free space'.

I'm sure there is a registery hack for this. Help? Thoughts?

Lot's of modern webpages done in PHP cant be saved.
 
You missed the entire point of the question. Saving the webpage was just a
sample way of getting to the Windows Save As dialog box. It doesn't matter
if I'm saving a webpage or saving a file from inside notepad, whenever I
goto the Windows Save As dialog box, the drives are listed all out of order
(by free space) rather than how they are used to being listed (by name). No
matter how many times I right click and tell it to list by name, it
'forgets' that setting and returns to listing by free space. It's annoying
as crap but I would like to fix it.
