Defaults for viewing files

[rocad]

We recently got new computers and after installing ACLT the file>open dialog box defaults to preview. I'd prefer that it default to list. I can pick view>list and it changes but it defaults back to preview. Is there a way to change this?

I would be willing to bet since it's a new computer it's not autocad it's how you have folders set up on your machine. To change the default view to "list"(I prefer details) you need to do it outside autocad.

 

1.) Open any folder in windows

2.) Change view to list:

View--->List

3.) Now we need to apply to all folders:

Tools--->Folder Options--->Click on View Tab---->Apply to all folders

 

This should fix autocad and sit your default view to "list".

I tried this but it didn't fix it. AutoCad is the only application that is doing this. I've looked everywhere in AutoCad for a place to change the default but so far I've had no luck.

Mine is showing up fine, vs. '05, however, does anyone know how to get the COMMENTS showing in the list files, in AutoCAD.

 

I have COMMENTS showing when I list files usin' Windows XP Pro by default.
