Folder options when opening a file in a program
Whenever I go to open a file, (document, picture, etc.) within a program
(Word, Photoshop, etc.) the "open" window is always arranged by "list". I then must change it to "details", which is my preference. Is there a way to make this a permanent change? I've used "folder options" in Windows Explorer, but that doesn't change things elsewhere. I've looked in "Administrative Tools", but I couldn't find anything there. |

Folder options when opening a file in a program
The way the tiny "Explorer - style" Open As.. & Save As... dialogue boxes
display their file-contents, with a few exceptions, is usually based on how you have your main Windows Explorer "default view" set. In other words - open Windows Explorer and select a [any] folder and select the view you most like to have (say detailed view) THEN - still within this folder select : Tools Folder Options View (tab) ....and press the "Apply to all folders" button (I also press the "Reset all folders" button for good measure and then on the "Apply to all folders" button for a second time) This sets the default view for files & folders in Windows Explorer - but also is reflected in the "Open As..." and "Save As..." dialogue boxes... Another option is to download the free modifier program : FileOpenPatcher.exe available from : http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/...nPatcher.shtml With which you can make the "Open As..." and "Save As..." dialogue boxes always appear in "detailed view" and also set your preferred size for the boxes. == Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-) "Stu Langer" wrote in message ...
