Perhaps there is a Firefox setting then :P But it was in Firefox I tested on Enterprise and on Ultimate - it uses the legacy one in Ultimate but the new one in Enterprise?

But some old programs still use the old classic dialog box and not the new Windows 7 one. ^^ Windows 7 dialog box uses navigation pane similar to Explorer.

But not entirely, as I removed everything but Favorites and Computer from there in Explorer but that did not affect the common file dialog box. Sorry for double posting - if possible you may reject this second comment but I only wish that you understand me entirely :) In fact, the whole common file dialog box is much more like default Explorer.

I have been using Enterprise version of Windows 7 and in there, the Places of common file dialog box is much more similar to the Navigation Pane! The icons are small and in a list like Navigation Pane. I had my Favorites from Explorer (adding "MyFavorites" does not give the same Favorites!). And really it was all great - until I find myself in Ultimate version with this "legacy" Places, is what I would call it. Perhaps there is a way to get that in Ultimate as in Enterprise? Certainly I can not be the only one who would prefer that over the current poor Places pane. Hello Vishal.

I would also like to ask how can we enable the Libraries Place. The mentioned directory doens't work (x64 w7). I would also like to add "Network" from default dialog, not "MyNetworkPlaces". Please respond. :) Hi,

The icon is different. The layout of the contents is different. Some libraries accessed this way seem to be missing locations. Anyone know if there's a "magic" name or number for Libraries? %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\libraries doesn't seem to be accepted (no icon appears) and using C:\Users\~Username~\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries doesn't work the same as the "Libraries" of the default.
