file sort

[kipwin]

Recently several programs that use the generic file open and save window changed. For years they displayed file names sorted alpha by name. Now they show them by date modified. I can click on the details button to have the option to sort them by name but that's kind of inconvenient as every new subdirectory requires that I do that. I tried changing it in the Windows Explorer by selecting folder options and getting the sort I wanted then telling it to change all folders to look like that one and to remember the look. Works for Explorer by not for the generic file open/save  window. There must be a default somewhere. Anybody have any idea? I'm Win 98 SE. it happens in various programs (e.g. adobe photoshop, dreamweaver)

Thanks,
kip

What is generic file open and save window?

I think he means the little window that opens when you open or save a file from most programs.

that's the one. some programs (e.g ms word) use their own file open/save window while others use a common window.
