Arrange Icons in "File Open" dialog

[soozle]

Whenever I select File Open within an application, the files/folders are displayed in order of the most recently edited (I think). How can I make this default back to alphabetical order?

Thanks In Advance

In most Microsoft applications, once you have selected open there sould be an icon for views, select this then arrange icons -> by Name

Hope it helps.

Thanks but that only seems to work for the current session - it's the same with windows explorer. I've tried arranging the icons by name, then setting all folders to look like the current one but if I close explorer and reopen it it's gone back to date order. I'm supposed to be a techie too!

Try opening explorer and sorting however you'd like, then hold the CTRL key when you click the X to close the window.

almost forgot to say thank you.

I followed the link, read the document and that's fixed it.
