How do I make "details" the defaut in file list?

[Normally Confused]

I want the "details" to be the default setting when I click on "Open File."
How???

Generally speaking, these dialogs retain the most recent setting.

I know that it will retain the format while I am in a Word session. When I
start Word the next time, I want it to list files in "Details" and not have
to go through the step of changing it each time I use Word. Any further
ideas?

Here the setting is saved between sessions.
