Try this:

CFileDialog fd(1,0,0,0,0,0,0,FALSE);
fd.m_ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME_NT4);
fd.DoModal();

The last parameter to CTOR specifies Vista-style to be false, and structure size of sizeofed with to reflect NT4 file-dialog.

I don't think you can. That windows belong to OS and is not implemented anymore. The the closest thing you can use is the old-style dialog box.

You can try to customize this one by hooking the window but it's not easy and I don't thing it worth.
