Registry patch for file-open dialog box

Asked by scrathcyboy in Windows XP Operating System

Tags: Registry Patch, XP File-Open Dialog Box

I am looking for a registry fix to change the DEFAULT display of Windows XP File-Open dialog box.  When you open a file with a program, XP pops up a file-open dialog box always in LIST view, with icons on the left rather than a tree.  

I want to change this to a DETAILS view, with a tree on the left -- this should be changeable in the registry.

If you do NOT know a fix for this, or if your response is like the accepted answer in this similar question  --

PLEASE DO ** NOT**  post, if you don't know how to change it's default display.  I already "know" it "can't be done", supposedly.  There are replacements too, like Wordperfect's, but I am not looking for that either.

Many XP defaults can be changed in the registry, so  I am specifically looking for a REGISTRY PATCH.Start Free Trial
