	In Acad, I dont know if you can...if so, let me know! In vista, the best I have found is to go into file explore, computer, click on Organize, scroll down to folder and search options, and set whatcha want. But it dosent always work. What you set up today and now may not be there tomarrow...guess thats why they came out with windows 7 microsoft bastards....

	Thank you for your help In all vista dialog box, the setup is keeped. Only in the dialog box use inside autocad are not working the same way. Autocad support team said to me that all column width are driven by the operating system. at the end all dialog box use outside autocad are working good, and all box in autocad are not working as i want. Luc ps: one workstation is running window 7 and autocad 2010, and it look that the situation are the same.

	Freakin microsoft, leave it to them to not fix a dang thing, then re-package an OS under a different name and sell at a premium every few years. So its driven by the OS? Did they tell you how to do anything to fix it rather than why it wont work?
