Windows lways short files By Size
« on: December 31, 2006, 12:54:12 PM »
  For some strange reason , My Win XP (pro) lately keep shorting my files By Size . Whenever I bring out the Open  File dialog box , called from any program , including AutoCAD , the files listed are shorted by size instead of By Name that used to be ... Can anyone help me restore this seting (or whatever it mightbe) ?

iliekater I quoted your post and changed the spelling from the word "shorting" to "sorting", I truly hope that was correct. If not please feel free to flame me for it. *grin*

You know you can click on the headers to sort by different things, such as date, name or file size...
