Setting "open dialog box" default

[Guest]

When a program opens the file | open dialog box, Windows XP home displays the
files in acending alphabetical order. You can change this by right clicking
and selecting "arrange by.."

Somehow, my default has be changed so that the files are displayed by last
modified. How can I change the default back to display the files in acending
alphabetical order?

Open a folder window (not a dialog) on a file folder (not a special folder), sort how you want, Ctrl + Close button on the titlebar.

This sets the system default sort. Many other settings override it for folder windows but it's the only setting dialogs read.
