Problem with File/open view menu

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Suddenly the List that appears on the File/Open view menu
in all my problems is ordered by modification date
instead of ordered by file name.

I would like to make it appear ordered by name again but
I can't fine how.

Thaks.

Sometimes this problem can be solved by:

- Closing all running apps (that have buttons in the taskbar)
- Opening Windows Explorer to you C:\ drive
- Changing the view to details (if necessary)
- Clicking the Name column heading to sort the items
- Holding down the CTRL key and clicking Close in the
upper-right corner of Windows Explorer
- Rebooting

File >> Open
Right click anywhere in the list. Go to Arrange Icons By >> Name.

If it reverts to modified date each time you open it, then,

Open Explorer.
Right click, go to Arrange Icons By >> Name.
Hold down Ctrl and click the "X" in the upper right corner in the window.
Restart your computer.

That should fix it.
