Make the Open/Save dialogs display the same General folders.

I don't use File Explorer, but Directory Opus. Unfortunately, Windows still uses its own Open/Save dialogs. They use the format I dislike the most, FILE NAME | TYPE | SIZE | DATE. And depending on the folder, it may display an image. I prefer every folder to display the same information DETAIL VIEW > FILE NAME | DATE MODIFIED. I want nothing else.

Is there a way to modify the Open/Save dialogs to always honor this preference?

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?

Click to expand...

Yes, use WinSetView to set your preferred default folder views. It will apply to all file open/save dialogs.
