comdlg32: setting default FileOpen etc dialogs to "details" view

[saralynn]

WinXP
Way back when... I had used the "eXeScope"  resource editor utility to modify comdlg32.dll
to achieve a larger default height and width for the various dialog boxes.

Never could figure out how to coerce "details" view (vs "list" view) as the default, though.

Clearly, as I discovered today
https://www.donation...Extenders/index.html
achieving default "details" view is possible...

so I'm hoping someone reading this will throw me a clue, how to achieve default details view

since switching to Win7, i had been using Direct Folders for this purpose. there is a free version if you want to take a look.
