[THIN] Audio files that aren't

This may not technically be a thin client question but it IS affecting one of 
my Citrix farms, so there.

We have an app that generates .au and .snd files, but they aren't audio files. 
Unfortunately, Explorer thinks they ARE audio files and displays any folder 
that contains them with Artist, Duration, Year etc columns but no Date 
Modified. The users need to sort the list by modification date. They can add 
the column by right-clicking but it would be better if it was always there.

So, is there any way to tell Windows 2003 not to waste time pretending to be 
down with the kids and just display all files in the default explorer format? 
I've tried adding the column in install mode and setting all folders to use the 
same settings but it doesn't stick.

Thanks
Angus
