    Default Open file parameters

    This maybe very basic but its driving me crazy. When opening a file in the Select file window, the view defaults to the "preview" mode. I find the "list" is much easier to navigate through because we have a large number of files. I can change it for the current folder but as soon as I go back or open another folder it defauls back to the preview selection. This is a computer with XP pro and acad 2002. I am not sure if this is a XP setting or acad setting. Any help to preserve my sanity would be appreciated.

    Yes, but it may not adhere to the windows scheme of things. To try, open a folder and set it to the view you want to use, then go to Tools-Folder Options (I think, I'm not on my XP box), Look for somethign like Like Current Folder, and apply these settings to all windows. This may help your dialog behave.

    If I'm wrong about how this works, I'll re-post it when I get to work this a.m.

    Or sunday a.m. when I'm at work..........

    It seems as I have tried every folder option I can find. I am not all that familiar with XP yet, and if this keeps up I may never be. The part that really pisses me off is I am sure it is something real simple. Mike

    For XP ,Lets say Explore go to" Tools","Folder Options","View" this will let you set the folder viewing options.

    Good luck

    Well, I have toggled every one of those boxes off and on to no avail. I go to acad open a file, it shows each drawing in a large folder icon with the "preview" button clicked. I click "list"and it changes, but if I go to the view button again, preview is still checked! Some how it is locked in this setup, and regardless of trying to open a drawing, template, etc., it is like this. Mike
