I like to work in detailed view and sort by modified date when looking for
files to attach. 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. And I have tried “more� and changed the order of
the titles and tried reducing the column width of “types� to zero. It looks
like OE was made to be customized but it doesn’t even hold until the next
email. There has to be a registry entry somewhere that enables these
options. Can anyone help?

That's a shared dialog and it's not unique to OE.

But there is an alternative way to insert attachments. Open a Windows
File Explorer window to the desired folder. Configure it as you like.
You can then drag-and-drop files from there to the message composition
window.

Thanks, but is sure is strange that MS has all those options but it doesn't
work in OE. Also, I customized an Explorer window and it held the changes.
If they are shared, why didn't that affect OE. Do you know where the change
is saved. I looked for it in the registry but couldn't find it.

The OPEN Dialog is shared with some other applications.

It works differently than a Windows File Explorer View.
