Default Large Icons Vs Details ( How can is et my preferences for this )

OK, Now I have set up my templates in a directory to be shared by others.
This is fine at the moment because there are only a few but its a bit messy
in large icons mode.

When I choose File | New | Templates On My Computer, you get the General Tab
with the templates in it, which is OK, but it allways comes up in Large
icons Mode, I want it to come up in Details Mode by default.

How can I acheive this.

File | New always defaults to Large Icons. It may be possible to change this
via VBA, but it is not possible through the UI. Since this is going to be a
VBA issue, you might be more likely to get the answer you need if you post
in one of the word.vba NGs.

Not easy through VBA. You can use VBA to display the FileNew dialog, but the
selection of icons/list/details is not one of the form's arguments. Nor can
you work-around with SendKeys: you can't get to those buttons by keyboard
alone, either -- those buttons aren't part of the dialog's tab order.

I think this is a Windows System issue, if I think About it, this is the
same for most folders.

The folder display in Word's FileNew dialog is not affected by the Windows
setting for that folder. Perhaps there's some method you have in mind? On my
system the templates folder is set to display as list if viewed in Windows
Explorer, but Word's FileNew shows large icons none the less.

There is probably a registry setting for this somewhere, I find it hugely
irritating to see large icons displayed in such a small window. they need
to sort this out.
