“open “, “Save”, or “Save As” dialog box defaults
krazykat
“Save”, or “Save As” dialog box that appears with just all programs and
Internet explorer.
It seems the “open “, “Save”, or “Save As” dialog box defaults to the
“List” view to show files. I all ways have to change to the “Details” view
each time I use the “open” selection. A real time waster when you open many
files.
Is there any way to set the default value to open to the “Details” view? I
have searched and been unable to find any settings. I may not be asking the
right question, Tweak UI or Power Toys did not seem to mention. I am sure
there is probably a registry settings.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron Badour

Which Help_and_Support are you referring to? The built in XP Help and
Support? A newsgroup? A Microsoft KB article?
I realize that the MVPs often see the same question for which THEY might
know the answer and/or exactly where the question might have already been
addressed.
I also realize that answering the same questions over and over again can be
frustrating. (I worked for Microsoft PSS in the mid-90s.)
Still, nobody is forcing anyone here to be an MVP. If an MVP feels that he
or she is 'burning out,' maybe it's time for them to take a break.

microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support newsgroup. The reason I pointed
that out was merely to keep other people from wasting their time trying to
answer a question that was already answered and acknowledged by the original
poster in another newsgroup. I did not feel the need to chastise the
original poster for posting the same question in two newsgroups--maybe I
should have so it would have been clear to you.
I think you are making invalid assumptions with no facts to back them up.
All statements like yours do is irritate people. If I do get burn out, you
won't see me here.

Well, actually, I've had a similar question although I've never bothered to
post it anywhere -- and I'm curious what the answer is.
Is there a link to where the answer has been posted?
I'm not finding a microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support newsgroup
using an NNTP reader.

It looks like you are using OE6 to post, are you? If so, are you
subscribed to the newsgroups through your ISP's server or
msnews.microsoft.com? If OE6 and msnews, click on tools, newsgroups and on
the resulting screen, type: help_ If you are connecting through your
ISP's server, it may not have microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support .
The only way I know to find a link to a particular thread is to wait until
it hits the Google archives and then do a search on it. Maybe an OE expert
can answer you better.

I could SWEAR that I typed in microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support
correctly when I looked this morning (I embarrassingly say), but it didn't
display then.
Now I see it both on Microsoft's and my own ISP's server.
And the procedure given in the answer even works. :->
Thanks.

I just found the microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support group -- and
the solution -- using OE so I'm all set now.
Thanks for your response.

Award actually is. It's a simple acknowledgement of past contributions and
carries no responsibilities on the part of the awardee to act or behave in
any manner other than as relates to the NDA. NOBODY has any business trying
to tell an MVP how to do what they do. By definition, they know how to do it
quite well.
In MS NGs, the phrase, "Already answered in..." has ALWAYS indicated another
Microsoft NG unless otherwise noted. Anyone but a newbie would know that Ron
was referring to a Microsoft NG. Anyone but a newbie would know how to
locate that group. That suggests to me that you're a total newbie... except
most newbies know they don't know how things work and simply ask questions
to find out, whereas you felt the need to *chastise* someone who's been
working these groups longer than all but a handful of people (and most of
the rest of that handful are "retired".) Newbies of that sort usually fall
under the category of "Ignorant A** hole". Is that what you are?
Or do you think perhaps an apology is due?

appreciate your comments.
I suspect you already know that I'm not a newbie, so please stop your
sermonizing.
My understanding is that an MVP is supposed to conduct himself or herself
with a modicum of professionalism.
However, as you felt the need to get insulting to me, you seem to have
forgotten that aspect of your role. So I'll just say that you're the one
who's being an asshole....and a pompous one at that.
Also, you'll kindly notice that I DIDN'T feel the need to use asterisks in
the word.
Perhaps you should consider that YOU owe ME an apology.
Have a pleasant evening.

you an A** hole, I asked you if you ARE one, because the evidence pointed
that way, and challenged you to prove that you aren't. You failed.
For the record, you and Ron "settled (your) differences" by Ron mildly
chastising you for your absolutely rude post, and even following up with
you. That's the kind of guy Ron is, but it doesn't excuse your rudeness. You
should thank him for that, in addition to apologizing for the initial rude
post.
FYI, the MVP Award is for past contributions. It is clearly stated that our
only "obligation" is to an NDA. We are otherwise free to act and post as we
see fit. Which is what I've ALWAYS done. These days I have a short fuse and
I go off on people who piss me off, mostly ingrates and willful idiots. But
that's only one out of every ten or twenty times. The rest of the time, I
"behave" myself.
If MS decides I don't deserve the MVP Award this year because of my attitude
towards idiots and a** holes, that's their right. Meanwhile, I've dumped
"political correctness" entirely. I'm tired of it, and whether I get the
Award this year or not, I'll STILL be here, saying whatever I please,
helping people who need and deserve it, calling out jerks about their rude
behaviors, and even going starkers just for the fun of it. I KNOW when I'm
being an A** hole and it's entirely deliberate.
But this wasn't one of those cases, and if you had any common sense and
honesty you'd know that.
