Just thought I would mention there is an easier way to change the default shortcuts 
in the open dialogs without touching the registry.

got to 
Start->run 
and type in 
gpedit.msc
then under user configuration go to
Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Windows Explorer 
-> Common Open file Dialog
There should be a setting there labeled "Items displayed in Places Bar"
Double click that and then the rest is pretty self-explanatory.

And for XP Home users ................... ?

What about XP Home? there is no such program. I'd sure like to be able to set the sort order for "File Open" and "Save As" dialog boxes. Right now, I have to rt click on them and specify the sort order - and it doesn't remember it from one box to the other, or from one time to the other. I sure miss ME and 98, in this respect.
