Presumably, you did set the Folder Options \ View - Advanced Settings to
'Remember each folder's view settings'

Whenever WinME's Open (File) dialog-box pops up it invariably defaults to
List Folder/File View (see "Open (File) Default List View" below), forcing
me to select my preferred Details Folder/File View (see "Open (File) View
Selection" below) and then sort by FileType within Folders (see "Open (File)
Selected Details View" below) before navigating easily to the file I want to
open.

Unlike WinME's "Windows Explorer", which lets me select my preferred Details
Folder/File View (sorted by FileType within Folders) and then remembers my
selection from then on, WinME's Open (File) dialog-box refuses to remember
my selection and infuriatingly defaults back to its List Folder/File View
next time it pops up.

Does anyone know if there's a way to get WinME's Open (File) dialog-box to
default to my preferred Details Folder/File View (surely the best option for
efficient file searches), preferably sorted by FileType within Folders as
well?
