The CFileDialog is a bit tricky, so I remember messing around with it some years ago. I think the article Displaying the 'new' Vista/Windows 7 File Dialog shows what solved my problems or the broader article XFileDialog - Customizing CFileDialog with its links should finally help you.

If you cant solve it than consider using different implementations for the different Windows versions.

Strangely enough nothing has changed since you posted this same question at How to Disable open drop down - ATL / WTL / STL Discussion Boards[^] and Vista Goodies in C++: Using the New Vista File Dialogs[^]. Please do not repost, but reply to people who have alreay offered suggestions.
