Open, save as dialog window

[mikejd1]

question:

In windows explorer, i have arrange by name, show in groups. for all folders. they are in alpabetical order in explorer, from A to Z.

However, if i open a dialog window, or a save as....window, they are still sorted by Name, but backwards, from Z to A. Can someone help me with this?

Thanks

Mike

well maybe it's the theme or hacking (i got no idea) or just try right clicking and choose arrange by names

what happens if you try to sort in the open/save dialog?

try running these in order:

regsvr32 /u comdlg32.dll

regsvr32 comdlg32.dll

then log off. that might reset it, but no guarantees...

edit: just found this in google. if the above does not work, try this:

If explorer in List mode/detail mode is z to a then open/save will be z to a, open a explorer window and change it to detail mode and make sure it is listing everything from A to Z then make that the global default and it will change how open/save dialogs does it.

This was a old problem I had as well.
