23228	2001-10-31 10:06:00	Recently started a new job. The computer defaults to sorting files in Windows Explorer, Open Boxes, Save Boxes etc by Date rather than by file name (VERY irritating!) The boss says it's been like it for a while since he installed an (unspecified) program. Resorting only solves it temporarily. Any ideas?	Guest (0)

23233	2001-10-31 21:11:00	Dear Iain, I thoroughly agree with you. As soon as I saw the problem that is exactly what I did. The problem is that it won't save it. Some program, for whatever reason of it's own, seems to override it	Guest (0)
