Thanks Sven your suggestion worked. I was previously looking for a button to check and overlooked the "Folders View" portion at the top of the dialogue box. I also appreciate all others who responded as I was also wanting to change it at work in Windows XP Pro. I'll try these suggestions when I return in a few weeks. I knew I could depend on you all.
