Windows 10: Windows 10 does not save a folder view that doesn't match default

I want to be able to set the folder view option on any folder, regardless of type (such a silly option) and have Windows 10 remember that view option when I open the folder again. I do not want to buy a third party utility. I have spent enough money with Microsoft over the years that I want them to provide the solution. Has anyone figured out a way to have Windows 10 save view options on an individual folder?

Customize default view in the "Save as" Window

Hello All,

I am looking for a way to customize the "Save as" file explorer window in Windows 10. Specifically I want it to default to a view where all files and folder are sorted by the "date modified" view with the most recent files on the top.

Strangely, customizing the view in regular file explorer and using the "Apply to Folders" button under "Folder Options" to set this view as the default for all Folder views does not apply to the "Save as" window.

So after setting the default view as described above, every file explorer window EXCEPT the save as window sort everything by Date Modified by default. Now if when I am navigating through a "save as" window (any application) and I change a view to be sorted
by "Date Modified" it stays that way, but I'd like that to just be the default view. I feel that if Windows can remember how I left the window there must be a way to change the default view. A registry hack maybe?

Does anyone know of a way to change the default view of the "Save as" window" to be sorted by "Date modified"?

Thanks

-Dave

 

Customize default view in the "Save as" Window

Hey Thanks for taking a look at this.

but this isn't exactly what I was looking for.

I know how to make the window look exactly the way I want it to look, and I can even make that specfic view the default view for all folders in regular file explorer.

The problem I am having is in getting that default view to apply to the "Save as" window. The window you get in any Microsoft application when yo click "Save as". The default view that I've set up for File Explorer doesn't seem to apply when looking at the
same folders through the "Save as" window.

So If I just navigate to the folders normally, they are sorted by "Date Modified", but If I look at the same folders through the "Save as" window the files are not sorted as "Date Modified" until I select the column and set them as so. There are hundreds
of folders though, and I'd rather not set them individually. So I used the windows function that allow me to set a selected view to all folders and it worked, UNLESS I'm looking at the folders in the "Save as" Window.

It seems that the "save as" Window operates independently of the default settings of "File Explorer". SO I'm looking for a way to customize the view in the "Save as" window specially.

Is that clearer?

Thanks in advance.

Mine remembers what I last set it to?

 

Yep, mine seems to remember it's views...so far.
