The date and time was 2/29/2008 8:36 AM, and on a whim, Meryl pounded out on the keyboard:
I found this KB article that describes my problem, but it did not resolve it as I already had this in place.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823291/en-us
Are there any other solutions? Using WinXP Pro with SP2. This has been going on for a while.
Also another problem came up recently. I could not find a KB article on this one. I think it's a Win XP issue because it happens in every app except Office. So that clues me in that it's the OS.
If I open Windows Explorer from any application OTHER than Microsoft Office applications, the list of files is unsorted. Whenever I need to attach a file, download a file and tell the application where to put it., etc. the file list isn't sorted and plus the headers aren't there.
This problem is a serious one as it takes me longer to find files in an unsorted list.
Appreciate any help!
Hi Meryl,
That issue is long standing as far as I know. I use PowerDesk Pro and it refreshes immediately and is much better than Explorer. There is a free version here (PD Pro 5.0):

but I use the paid version, as it's well worth it.
You should have a "View Menu" icon in the dialog boxes. Click on it and select "Details". That will give you header sorting options. Every program I checked on this machine has that option in a file dialog box.
