Windows 10: Open Dialog, trying to save some clicks

Hi, on Mac, when I open a dialog it will default to the last used location. On windows, it's going to the same one every time, and i don't know where it's getting that information from.

I'm replacing stock clips in premiere, every time i open a dialog to replace, it's dropping me in the same folder and i have to keep navigating to the folder i need. How can i get it do default to the last used? Or at least something better?

Open / Save as dialog boxes - choose whether to expand or collapse as default

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you would like to have a collapsed view of the items on the navigation pane of the File Explorer while saving a file. To do this, I would suggest you to try the steps listed below and see if it works.

• Open File Explorer
  and click on the View tab.
  
• Click on the drop down next to
  Navigation Pane and uncheck Show all folders.
  
• Exit File Explorer
  and try saving a file now.

Open and Save As Dialog Boxes not working

Hello,

If the Open and Save As dialog boxes are not appearing, there might be a process or service that is conflicting with that function of Windows. We recommend that you perform a clean boot of Windows. This would aid eliminate software conflicts that occur when
using Windows.

Note: Your computer may temporarily lose some functionality when performing a clean boot. If you start the computer normally, the functionality returns. However, you may receive the original issue.

Here's how to perform a clean boot environment in Windows 10:

• Press the Start button, then type msconfig, and select
  System Configuration from the search results.
• On the Services tab of the System Configuration
  dialog box, click to select the Hide all Microsoft services check box, then select
  Disable all.
• On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
  dialog box, click Open Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab in Task Manager, for each startup item, select the item and then click
  Disable.
• Close Task Manager.
• On the Startup tab of the System Configuration
  dialog box, click OK, and then restart your computer.

After performing a clean boot environment of Windows, see if the Open
and Save As dialog boxes work as they should be. If it works, then you may follow the steps below on how to determine what is causing the problem while in a clean boot environment:

• Log on to the computer by using an account that has administrator rights.
• From Start. search for msconfig, then select
  msconfig or System Configuration from the search results.
• Click the Services tab, and then click to select the
  Hide all Microsoft services check box.
• Click to select the upper half of the check boxes in the Service list.
• Click OK, and then click Restart.
• After the computer finishes restarting, determine whether the problem still occurs.
  • If the problem still occurs, repeat steps 1 through
    5, but clear the lower half of the check boxes in the Service
    list that you originally selected.
  • If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 1 through
    5, and select only the upper half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the
    Service list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
  • If you still experience the problem when only one service is selected in the
    Service list, this means that the selected service causes the problem, and you should go to step
    10. If no service causes the problem, go to step 7.
• Repeat steps 1 and 2 in this section.
• Click the Startup tab, then click to select the upper half of the check boxes in the
  Startup Item list.
• Click OK, and then click Restart.
  • If the problem still occurs, repeat steps 7 and 8, but clear the lower half of the checked boxes in the
    Startup Item list that you originally selected.
  • If the problem does not occur, repeat steps 7 and 8, and select only the upper half of the remaining check boxes that are cleared in the
    Startup Item list. Repeat these steps until you have selected all the check boxes.
  • If you still experience the problem after only one Startup Item
    is selected in the Startup Item list, this means that the selected
    Startup Item causes the problem, and you should go to step
    10.
  • If no Startup Item causes the problem, a Microsoft service probably causes the problem. To determine which Microsoft service may be causing the problem, repeat steps
    1 through 6 without selecting the Hide all Microsoft services
    check box in each step.
• After you determine the startup item or the service that causes the problem, contact the program manufacturer to determine whether the problem can be resolved. Or, run the
  System Configuration utility, and then click to clear the check box for the problem item.

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?





I don't know, but any ideas are more that wellcome! Thanks!
