Annoying Windows Problems

[Kitsune]

Someone, sometime ago, had an answer to my question of "how do you select 'No To All' at Windows prompts" question. I was amazed someone had a solution to this, so I'm hoping maybe someone has come across this problem and knows the trick:

In any 'Save As' window, the file listing is always ordered backwards from Z to A. To fix it, I have to switch from the default "list mode" to "details" and then click the filename sort to correct it. The problem is that it never stays this way in future 'Save As' window openings. I have no idea how it got this way, no other explorer windows do this, and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Explorer's "Folder Options -> View -> Apply this view to All Folders" doesn't affect it.

Extra oddity: the 'Save As' window orders the Desktop and 'My Computer' (local/mapped drive listing) from A-Z, but drive and folder contents are always Z-A!
