The dialogs from MS Office (which are becoming less and less reliable
from an automater's point of view) do not retain settings changes for
the view, unfortunately. Explorer itself does, but Open and Save As
won't.
And the reason I mentioned the reliability standpoint is that, as an
Office programmer, I'm afraid to ask MS to fix this problem for fear
that they will completely break the automation interfaces for all the
dialogs. I'll get the phone calls, blame, etc., and we'll still be
suffering.<g>
