Summary

Id:	1419.3
Type:	Bug
Current Status:	Open

Detail

The following Microsoft documentation demonstrates how to resolve this problem:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/WinUI/WindowsUserInterface/UserInput/CommonDialogBoxLibrary/CommonDialogBoxReference/CommonDialogBoxStructures/OPENFILENAME.asp

#if (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500) void * pvReserved; DWORD dwReserved; DWORD FlagsEx;#endif // (_WIN32_WINNT >= 0x0500)} OPENFILENAME, *LPOPENFILENAME;pvReservedReserved. Must be set to NULL.dwReservedReserved. Must be set to 0.FlagsEx

Windows 2000/XP: A set of bit flags you can use to initialize the dialog box. Currently, this member can be zero or the following flag.

OFN_EX_NOPLACESBAR

If this flag is set, the places bar is not displayed. If this flag is not set, Explorer-style dialog boxes include a places bar containing icons for commonly-used folders, such as Favorites and Desktop.

For compatibility reasons, the Places Bar is hidden if Flags is set to OFN_ENABLEHOOK and lStructSize is OPENFILENAME_SIZE_VERSION_400.
