default to DETAILS view instead of LIST in FILE > OPEN applet

Whenever I open or save a file i always see the default "view" is set
to "List". I can change it by selecting the "view menu" and I can
change it to: Thumbnails, Tiles, Icon, List, Details etc.

I prefer to set a system wide preference to ALWAYS have the default
view be "Details".

How can I do this?

The last view options used should remain as the default view.
For example in MS Word: Create a sample document > Save the document > In
the Save As dialogue box, change the view to details > Click the Save button.
The next time you save, the view should remain in Details view. That’s true
with opening files. Maybe there is another user on your machine that prefers
the list view.

Close all Explorer windows.
Open My Computer and set the View to Details.
Click Tools-Folder Options-View and click "Apply to all folders"
Click OK > OK

Good Luck, Ayush.

Good Luck, Ayush.

Sorry Ayush, you seem to have misread the question.
the problem lies not in folder view, this can be (and has been) adjusted as you suggest.
What James, and me too, would like to know is...how to set "Detail-view" as the default in the loading and saving Panel.
Is there even a solution to this lack of control?

FileOpenPatcher from ElmüSoft enlarges the Windows Open File dialog. (in Comdlg32.dll)
FileOpenPatcher is the successor of the famous MultiEnhancer.

Thanks Ju.c!

that did the trick perfectly, wow... i wish i had looked for this earlier.
it was just one of those tiny annoyances that are too small to really make a fuss about, but when solved make working with your computer just that little bit more comfortable.

You're welcome, enjoy!

Thanks, Peter. Your patch was just what I had dreamed about, but the sky's the limit, isn't it? :)

Is there a way to sort files in this Save In Folder by last modified date (descending) BY DEFAULT?

Please don't delete previous posts, thanks.

To "rishting"... this bleeping moron "ju.c" is trying to tell you to
QUOTE what you are replying to. (S)he is freaking dense and probably
only barely speaks English.
