I don't know of anyway to change the dialog default. But there is a
workaround.

Instead of using Insert, File, just open (or keep open) a Windows File
Explorer window configured as desired. Then just drag-and-drop the
desired files from that window into the open message.

I like to work in detailed view and sort by modified date when looking
for
files. In Outlook Express 6.00.29, when I go to attach a file, it
comes up
list view and I click the icon to change to detail. It lists name,
size and
type and if I scroll right, I can get to date modified. I would like
to set
it the default to detail and not show file type so that date modified
is
right there. I know about right clicking the title bar and unchecking
type,
but it doesn't keep. I reinstalled windows XP SP2 recently, and every
thing
seems to run fine so I don't think it is a corrupted file. 1) Know a
fix for
getting rid of type? 2) Know a fix to change detail view to default?
I
don't mind getting into the registry.

Thank you
