Re: Save As - opening My Pictures?

I have all my folders set to List View. But most applications insist
on opening Save As > My Pictures (and Save As > My Videos) in
Thumbnail view. As these folders contain scores of subfolders, that's
never appropriate for me. Is it possible to change that behaviour for
XP generally please?

Here are a couple of articles I've saved:

Open a common dialog box, change the view to the one you want, and then
hit Ctrl/Cancel. Yes, it's counterintuitive, but this solution is in Ed
Bott's book "Windows XP Inside and Out" and it works.

Restore Sort order in Open and Save dialogs
