Vista registry hack. This freaking dang OS is one pita.

Is there a registry hack I can do that will force Vista to hold the Explorer view 'Details', even in the 'Save As' dialogue, and that will allow me to change the view to icons temporarily to something else (ie, pictures as Icons when I want to peep at them without opening them)?

Freaking dang thing WILL NOT hold it's View settings. Driving me flat out crazier than I began...

Thanks all. :D

7 went RTM on the 23-7-09 so it will not be long till you want to use 7 instead of Vista. Perhaps you should rush out to a M$ Reseller and buy a 5 Site License for 7 Business and get in early on the 7 Freight Train. ;)

OH and as I avoid Vissy like the plague I'm not sure what you are asking here.

But I haven't read anything to convince me it's worth my time. Wouldn't be messin' in Vista if I didn't have to. Bah. X-(

is a lot less troublesome. I've switched from Vista to the RC. ;)

Looks that's just the thing.

Open explorer.
Click view menu and select the way you want it.
Click on Tools> Folder options> View
Click apply to all and whole system will hold the same view as present explorer that you have open.
If you are looking for something in registry, then search in registry for the word like "Apply to all folder"
You should find something"

looking for a registry hack if the gui methodology was working.

the Quick Launch bar? I want my Quick Launch bar. I put all sorts of stuff there to keep it handy, but off the desktop.
