Sort order in File Open dialogue box
 

How can I make Excel 2003 (and Word 2003 too) to remember the sort order in
the File Open dialogue box?
Since a month ago or so, the File/Open dialog box keeps displaying files
sorted by date. I can sort them alphabetically then, but when I open Excel
again, say the next day, the files are sorted back by date.
Word is just not "remembering" my preferences.
Thanks for your responses to this Excel/Word nuisance rather than a problem.

Sort order in File Open dialogue box
 

The File open dialog is set to the preferences to windows, not just word or
excel.

I don't know how to do it but it might be in Exploerer options
