View by when opening or saving pdf files

Report · Aug 22, 2012

I am currently using Adobe Acrobat X Pro 10.1.4 on Windows XP. When attempting to open or save a file through Acrobat or the Acrobat plugins, the file dialog box will start in the list view. If I attempt to change the view to details, it will change but will change back to list when attempting to open or save again. This has been reproduced on multiple computers which are very similar. This issue is only affecting adobe acrobat, as all other programs (including windows explorer browsing inbetween folders) already are set to show the detail view.

Is there anyway to either make the changes stick, or to permanently have it reset to detail view instead of list view?

This does not seem to be Acrobat issue. It happens with other products too. Tried with Notepad and WordPad and it does not retain the File View settings. File>Open or File>Save dialogs are Windows dialog and settings that affect the file view is totally Microsoft's settings. I was browsing through the same issue and people have complaint about the same etc. However, I could not find the registry key which changes this setting.
