    I have 4 different installations of CAD software on my PC. When I right-click on a CAD drawing, I'm shown a list of CAD programs but the actual specific info of WHICH CAD program isn't shown.

    So is it possible to make the "open with" dialog show more specifics about the programs that are associated with the file?

    Force list view in the Open-Save dialog possible?

    A the left, major part of the image, is shown up the Open - Save dialog that show the cursed Icons by default in Win XP SP 1.0a... I do wonder, if I can modify the comdlg32.dll somehow (or registry?) to FORCE the Open-Save dialogue to open always default with the list view, as shown in the right part of the image:

    I tried hard searching on Google for the comdlg32.dll internals, but did not found anything usefull. I think that it will be something in the dialogue no. 1547 (when one have disabled the places bar, witch places it will be the no. 1552) in comdlg32.dll file:

    Code: 1547 DIALOGEX 0, 0, 537, 334 STYLE DS_MODALFRAME | DS_CONTEXTHELP | WS_POPUP | WS_VISIBLE | WS_CLIPCHILDREN | WS_CAPTION | WS_SYSMENU CAPTION "Otevřít" LANGUAGE LANG_CZECH, 0x1 FONT 8, "MS Shell Dlg" { CONTROL "Oblast &hledání:", 1091, STATIC, SS_LEFT | SS_NOTIFY | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_GROUP, 3, 4, 49, 8 CONTROL "", 1137, COMBOBOX, CBS_DROPDOWNLIST | CBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED | CBS_HASSTRINGS | WS_CHILD | WS_VISIBLE | WS_VSCROLL | WS_TABSTOP, 53, 1, 149, 300 CONTROL "", 1088, STATIC, SS_LEFT | WS_CHILD, 211, 1, 88, 16 CONTROL "", 1120, LISTBOX, LBS_NOTIFY | LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT | LBS_MULTICOLUMN | WS_CHILD | WS_BORDER | WS_HSCROLL, 1, 18, 535, 284[/quote] But all these dropdown lists show only 4 numbers, witch is basically their position and size... Not what is pre-selected by them.

    So, maybe I have to edit the dialog this way?

  3. Indexing option>Modify creates dialog box "There is no email program associated . . .

    Windows 10 Pro, Ver 1511, Build 10586.164. HP laptop, AMD-8 processor, 16 gig Ram. Cortana OFF.

    Windows search is slow. I open Indexing Options and 112,000 items are indexed. Click Modify and a dialog box pops up with "There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program . . . " Click OK and the dialog
    box disappears and the Indexed Locations box appears.

    First, I clicked Modify, not on an email link. Not that it matters, but I have a default email client -- it's called eMClient.

    Second, I don't know what affects what so maybe this cross wired thing is making my searches slow.

    Third, the slow searches. I type in a word or phrase and "Searching .. . " pops up and the cursor freezes. Then in about 5 seconds the results start to show up -- they used to start showing up immediately. The only hardware thing I can think of that changed
    is that I used to have a 7200 RPM hard drive that worked fine but now I have a Samsung 512 SSD, which presumably would make these searches even faster.

    One final thing, with the 7200 RPM drive I used to have over 240,000 files indexed but I excluded a lot of redundant locations thinking it would get even faster.

    I have scores of other utilities going on that might be slowing down search but just want to find out initially why this dialog box is popping up.
