I'm encountering an annoying problem regarding the standard "Open" and
"Save" dialog boxes. The file sort order always comes up in "By Date". I
would like to display the files "By Name".

Within the dialog box, I perform "Arrange icons", "By Name" but the next
time a perform a "Open" or "Save" it comes up in a sort order "By Date".

Is there a registry setting that I can set so that the order always comes
up "By Name".

Thanks in advance...
Paul

Thanks Ron. I used the method described under 26.asp (manual edit of
registry) and it worked like a champ.
