I think it would be cheaper to simply buy your Win95 users an upgrade to their OS rather than to
spend the time and headache trying to support such a ridiculously old and pathetic pseudo-OS.

I've installed VS-2008
Updated MFC to the latest version

To get the ApplyOFNToShellDialog methods visible I've had to change WINVER from 0x0400 to 0X0600,
which worries me.

Does this create compatability problems if the software is run on older versions of Windows (we
have some users on WIn95)

Anyway, having done all this when I do the following

m_myFileDialogPtr->UpdateOFNFromShellDialog();
m_myFileDialogPtr->m_ofn.lpstrTitle = L"New Dialog Title";
m_myFileDialogPtr->ApplyOFNToShellDialog();

m_myFileDialogPtr->DoModal();

as soon as DoModal is called, I get an assert

f:\dd\vctools......\dlgfil.cpp" - a file I dont have

followed by

"Encountered an improper argument"

All I am trying to do is get CFileDialog to not change folder on Vista :)

Any ideas?

Many thanks
