If you have a lot of files with unique timestamps or other details that you can quickly ascertain in “detail view” than you are probably frustrated with the fact that when opening the file dialog in a program you cannot set the “detail view” to be the default. Instead, each and every time, you need to switch from list view to detail view to find what you are looking for. The trick to have it keep the details view is this:

1) Open the file dialog from any application

2) Switch to “detail view”

3) Press the control button and sort on the name

4) Either open a file or press the exit button.

You may have to restart your computer, but in Vista 64, it held immediately.
