I already know how to change the View of folders and files in a File Explorer window. I always choose "List." I also know how to then apply (make the default) that same "List" View to all similar File Explorer windows. However, when I'm saving a document to my PC via the "Save As" window of File Explorer, the "List" View I applied (chose) earlier for my folders and files in a regular File Explorer windows is not the same default View of the "Save As" window. Instead, the "Save As" window's View defaults to "Details,", which spreads it entirely across the page preventing me from even reading it. Furthermore, when I change the View of the "Save As" window prior to saving a document to my PC, there's no option to make it the default View of the "Save As" window for when I'm saving documents in the future. Also, the View I select for the "Save As" window isn't even remembered by Windows 10, meaning that I have to change the View of the "Save As" window from "Details" to "List" at least 4 or 5 times in a row as I move deeper and deeper into a folder until I reach the subfolder I'm going to save my document in. Multiply this by the number of documents I save on a daily basis, and I'm having to change the View of the "Save As" File Explorer window about 50 times per day. This is a ridiculous waste of time, negating the value of using File Explorer to begin with. Why does the View setting in the "Save As" Window appear to operate independently of the default View setting of the other File Explorer windows? There's probably something I'm not aware of, so I'd greatly appreciate your feedback, as I'm sure thousands of other Windows users would also. Thanks very much. Sincerely, David
