I think Ron and I have settled our little misunderstanding, Gary, but I
appreciate your comments.

I suspect you already know that I'm not a newbie, so please stop your
sermonizing.

My understanding is that an MVP is supposed to conduct himself or herself
with a modicum of professionalism.

However, as you felt the need to get insulting to me, you seem to have
forgotten that aspect of your role as an MVP. So I'll just say that you're
the one
who's being an "Ignorant A** hole"....and a pompous one at that.

Perhaps you should consider that YOU owe ME an apology.

Have a pleasant evening.

I would like to suggest that you educate yourself a bit on what the MVP
Award actually is. It's a simple acknowledgement of past contributions and
carries no responsibilities on the part of the awardee to act or behave in
any manner other than as relates to the NDA. NOBODY has any business trying
to tell an MVP how to do what they do. By definition, they know how to do
it quite well.

In MS NGs, the phrase, "Already answered in..." has ALWAYS indicated
another Microsoft NG unless otherwise noted. Anyone but a newbie would
know that Ron was referring to a Microsoft NG. Anyone but a newbie would
know how to locate that group. That suggests to me that you're a total
newbie... except most newbies know they don't know how things work and
simply ask questions to find out, whereas you felt the need to *chastise*
someone who's been working these groups longer than all but a handful of
people (and most of the rest of that handful are "retired".) Newbies of
that sort usually fall under the category of "Ignorant A** hole". Is that
what you are?

Or do you think perhaps an apology is due?

Ron,

Which Help_and_Support are you referring to? The built in XP Help and
Support? A newsgroup? A Microsoft KB article?

I realize that the MVPs often see the same question for which THEY might
know the answer and/or exactly where the question might have already been
addressed.

I also realize that answering the same questions over and over again can
be frustrating. (I worked for Microsoft PSS in the mid-90s.)

Still, nobody is forcing anyone here to be an MVP. If an MVP feels that
he or she is 'burning out,' maybe it's time for them to take a break.

I use WIN XP Pro and have a question about an annoyance in the "open ",
"Save", or "Save As" dialog box that appears with just all programs and
Internet explorer.

It seems the "open ", "Save", or "Save As" dialog box defaults to the
"List" view to show files. I all ways have to change to the "Details"
view
each time I use the "open" selection. A real time waster when you open
many
files.

Is there any way to set the default value to open to the "Details"
view? I
have searched and been unable to find any settings. I may not be asking
the
right question, Tweak UI or Power Toys did not seem to mention. I am
sure
there is probably a registry settings.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
