Open / Save Dialog Box Not Displaying Files in Name Order
My other installations of Windows XP display by default all the folders and
files in alphanumeric order. I have just reinstalled XP on a computer (brand new hard drive, fresh install) and all of my folders and files are coming up in some unknown order. In fact, it appears to be most recently accessed at the top of the list. That is a reasonable order, but I really want it to be alpha, because I have been using that forever. I can't get it to change and stay. I don't want to change it every single time by using the right-click method, as I am now. Thanks, Tony |

Thank you! for responding. I appreciate the response. I decided to try the
options in order and the first one seems to have fixed it for me. If anything else develops, I will post back. Thanks again, Tony |

If you click on "Name" at the top of the right side it will order them by
alphanumerica. If the arrow points up it should be dewscending, with the arrow down it will be acending (or the other way around if I have that wrong). Then I think if you click on Tools Options and then click on the View tab, you click the "Apply to all Folders" and Windows Explorer should always start that way.

I see I made amistake in the previous post. I was thinking of the explorer
file manager. But maybe if you change it there it will change it everywhere aq list of files is displayed. "Anthony Bollinger" wrote in message ...
