I am not talking about Windows Explorer, I am talking about the file browser thing that most programs have for opening or saving files. To see what I mean, in Notepad, select File -> Open, and one will pop up. I can sort the files by right-clicking and selecting Arrange Icons -> by Type, but they always go back to being sorted by date next time! How do I make sorting by type the default again? Presumably there is some setting in the registry somewhere that needs to be changed?	Guest (0)
