Can I change the "file open" dialog box? Folders and files are listed
correctly per the "views' setting; it's set to "list" and they list in
alpha order, folders first, followed by files. When the dialog box
opens, the selector is on the first file, which means that, for a
folder with many subfolders and many files, the selector is somewhere
in the middle of the listing, at the first file.

Since this happens in all Office applications we use (Excel, Word,
FrontPage, Access, & PowerPoint), it seems like it must be an Office
thing - can it be changed and, if so, how?

Thanks in advance,

John
