Dude, all of those are silly things of no consequence. This is the OS I have to use at work. By force. A Microsoft OS. This is serious.

For everything from IE and Firefox's "Save As..." to Winamp's "Open File...", they all display Z-A by default each and every time. This tells me it is a common setting in Explorer.

Ah! Word 2003 displays
correctly, but the dialog box is different from other applications. It does not share the same settings as the other 'standard' file dialog boxes. Uh...wha? Who engineered this junk?

Under Word with its specialized dialog box that has preview functionality, etc, yes. Under everything else that uses the standard Explorer 'Save As'/'Open...' dialog box, the changes don't stick.
Word on top (scrolled slightly to show order), standard dialog on the bottom.
