Directories coming up in reverse order

I think I have a problem with my Windows 2000 – when I’m opening or saving documents within a program, my directories come up in reverse order. I can usually click on the “View” icon, switch to “Details” and click on the header to realign them in correct order, but it never stays that way. As soon as I save or open a document and go on with my work, the directories revert to reverse order.

I’ve probably accidentally fat-fingered a keyboard code into my Windows, but I have no idea what I did. I’ve tried uninstalling and re-installing some of the programs, thinking maybe it was software specific, but that doesn’t cure the problem. Some of the directories are on a shared drive, and they aren’t in reverse order on other computers used to access them.

Any ideas?

Right click on the **Start ** button and select Explore. Select any folder with enough files to judge the order they are displayed in (such as the **My ** **Documents ** folder). Left click the **Name ** column heading to order the files in the way you prefer. Left click the **Tools ** menu, select Folder Options, and select the **View ** tab. In the Advanced Settings window, make sure there is a check mark next to Remember each folder’s view settings. Then click the Apply to all folders button at the top.

Worked like a charm! You are my new hero. Thanks ever so much.

Glad I could be of service.
