When I go to open files, I want it to show the details. Frequently I am wanting to sort the drawings to find which file I want to open, so I always have to click "details", then sort em. Is there a way to set the default open view to Details so I dont have to go through this extra step?
 
It seems to be "hard coded" into SolidWorks. If you try to do the same thing in a Word or Excel file, the folder arrangement stays the same as the time before.
 
You can drag&drop from Windows Explorer into SolidWorks.
Just make sure you MINIMIZE any open views & it will open your part instead of inserting it into the assembly you might have open.

This will look favorable on my next review.
