Hi all,

How can I force XP Pro to sort the files and folders alphabetically in the
"Save As" and "File Open" dialogues? I believe this is a default behaviour,
however I have one system where it seems to put recently used folders/files
in the end of the list. This driving me nuts!

Please, someone?

Thanks,
/MM

Neither of these methods worked, but I managed to fix the problem by simply
clearing the "Remember each folder's view settings" checkbox in the Folder
Options, sorting files by name and then applying changes to to all
folders...
