Using XP Home.

When opening or saving files on my computer, the box that opens to select whatever file I want, shows the folders as icons (not what I prefer). So I select the 'views' button and click on 'list' (my preferred view).

The next time I want to open/save, the view has defaulted back to the icon view again.

How can I make it default permanently to the list view?

sprocket,

Try Windows Explorer >> Set the View on the pain to Details >> Go to Tools >> Folder Options >> View >> and click on the button Apply to All Folders.

Take Care,

Richard

Don't you just love this place?!
I've been wanting to do that for ages but never thought to ask here.

Gidday Naples, have tried that but it still 'defaults' back to the icon view of my folders the next time I want to save. Seems to be happening on IE only.
