Default Detail view issue when attaching a file

I don't disagree.

Thank you. It just seems odd that MS would make a pull down menu that
allows
you to check only those columns you want to see, but not allow you to save
them.

Just to add to that, we've been informed here by MS that changing the
View
type in that dialog can't be done (or at least not according to them)
when
the dialog opens and the user has to change that manually.

Again, I'm not sure of the accuracy of that information, but it looks
like
you can't do much about it.

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.

message news 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
