Can't make "Details" view option stick in "Attach file(s)" window
Posted by Herb on January 7th, 2006


Windows doesn't appear to remember the "View" setting in the "Attach
file(s)" window for attaching files to e-mail messages, i.e. the "Attach
file(s)" *always* comes up in "List" mode.

It also has trouble remembering the size of the "Attach file(s)" window.

Is there a registry setting or some other solution for making these
parameters stick?

Thank you.

Hi Ramesh,

thanks for the info - I hadn't been aware of it.

I'll certainly try it and I might even buy it, although I am surprised
that there doesn't appear to be a way of making the "Details" view stick
without external software! :-(

Yes. The common dialog box's view style can't be customized, Herb.

Hi Ramesh,

I'm trying File-Ex as we speak, and it's great!

I had been looking for something like this for years, so thanks again
for the info :-)
