"Save as" folder views

[Daniel - Sydney]

Hi

I have XP Pro

Until recently my 'Save as" dialogue box was sorted in "Details" vies with
the sub-folders at the top and sorted alphabetically.

Yesterday it changed to a "List" view, not sorted to anything that I can tell.

How do I get the original vies back permanently?

I tried resetting it in the Dialogue box and rebooting but it just reverts
every time.

regards

This may take care of the view also.

Try this:

1. Open the Save As dialogue box
2. Sort the files alphabetically
3. Control click the close dialogue button (red button with white X)
Hope it works

Thanks to all, I ended up running the registry fix then the folder sort option.

thanks
