Have a look here:
http://www.mvps.org/vbvision/grouped...Common_Dialogs
Save And Open File Dialog Demo.zip (7KB) This project shows how to call
the GetSaveFileName and GetOpenFileName API functions to display the
"Save As..." and "Open" file dialogs without using the common dialog
control. It includes the constants for version 5 of the shell (Win2K).
It also shows how to implement a hook proc that allows setting of the
initial view style for the file list.
