Is there a way to have the Windows Explorer ClassicShell in the dialog boxes when I'm looking for a file to open, in any program?

Maybe it must be already working like that, and I missed the feature because I have patched my Windows 7 64 bit with the Universal Theme Patcher, so that I could install some special skins for windows, like this, which looks great.

Anyway, I notice that in some cases (the old programs), the dialog box do offer the possibility to creat a new folder etc., but I supose that it is not a Windows Explorer instance but they use their own engine.

I wonder if ClassicShell can supply this feature.

No this is why it can't: http://www.classicshell.net/faq/#explorer_saveas It's risky and can crash any application.
