Hi, I contacted Norm Almond for the code, and updated it a bit, I never experienmced the probelms he is describing, so with his permission it has now been submitted to the CodeProject archives. The topic is currently in UserItems, but should appear in the "Dialog and Windows Programming" section, titled "Win 2k style File Dialogs for Win 95/98/NT/Me". It is an attempt to copy the Office 2000 style dialogs, and I have tested it pretty thouroughly and found no major problems. The sample project has also been updated.
