Default file view is thumbnail sketch all the time.  How do I change this to 'list' or 'detail' which are standard Windows options.ACAD LT 2008.Terry

 
 When you open a file in dialog box on the right side there is a button    VIEW click on it.

Yes, but I must change from 'preview' to 'list' every time, even when I move into different sub directories.How do I change the default 'view' to 'list' ??Terry

It should stick. Which OS are you using?

it does not 'stick' or stay in 'list' view.I am using Windows Vista Home Premium.

Strange. Make sure you have the Service Pack 1 (for LT2008) installed but I don't know if it relates to this.
