Yes, if you have to do that on Windows 7, then something needs fixing. It isn't neccesary on Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows. > By the way, does anyone know why we do not use SHBrowseForFolder if > only_dir_p is non nil instead of GetOpenFileName? IIRC it had its own problems, such as not being able to open non-existing files (even if used only for directories, the standard file dialog at least allows you to create directories inside the dialog). It also seemed a bit clumsy and left behind from an earlier version of Windows, but things may have changed since the dialog support was first added. I'm not aware of any other programs that use it, so it doesn't have the benefit of being familiar to Windows users that the file dialog has (though the familiarity is lost when we start using it to select directories, which it was never designed to do).
