Default customize "file open" dialogues, possible?

Hello,

is it possible to customize the way the "mini-explorer" FILE/OPEN dialogue
windows present themselves?

i usually use the "details" view, sorted by date.
for images, I often use "thumbs" view.

are there any reg tweaks that might fix the file/open box in this
configuration?

thanks for any input...

Mg

This is the only way, and it's free:

FileOpenPatcher from ElmüSoft enlarges the Windows Open File dialog.
FileOpenPatcher is the successor of the famous MultiEnhancer.
