I think the suggestions made have helped .When I open windows explorer every folder and subfolder I click on displays files is in Detail format . Fine . However ,when I click on an application *.exe file to run a program and then from one of its menus click on say "open file" , I then get files displaying but NOT in detail format . These files are in folders which if DIRECTLY accessed from Windows Explorer (as in previous paragraph) would show the files in Detail format . I have carefully checked the suggestions madeto see if I am missing something but can't find an an explanation ! I feel I'm getting close . Anybody able to take me the last step ? Thanks

I'll give this a shot . Thanks

I tried this . I don't seem to have "Tools" but I got to View/ Folder Options/View and then clicked to make all folders like the current folder(which I had set to "details") then closed out . Then found the "details" option still didn't stick. Any thoughts ? Thanks for your help.

I am using win 98SE . Within an application when I click to open files (from a menu) I do not get the display format I wish ( the one showing "Details" of files -- name , date etc) and have to click again to get it. I don't think I had to do this in the past. I have followed the instructions I found in Windows help and made the changes to select "details" BUT the change doesn't "stick" . Anyone know how to solve my problem .It's not life threatening but it is very annoying. Thanks
