The underlying control Vista is now using is most likely where the problem lies. I've noticed since using Vista that any controls which display directories/Files including simple OpenFileDlgs use the general filter settings whereas before not all of them did. So if you want to display "All Files" even if the general filtering is set to hide certain extensions, you may have to move to a different control or write your own new or descendant version.

I had populated the FileListBox.Mask with a list of desired extensions. This works fine with w2k, xp and xp pro. It fails on Vista if you have the folder options set to hide known file extensions. Under XP this setting had no effect on the selection process, but Vista hid the extensions from the FileListBox control. Disabling the hide know file extensions solved the issue, but I'd like to have the program be able to handle this gracefully, rather than forcing the user to figure out how to do this (and it's much harder for the average user to change the folder settings in Vista, Microsoft limits where this can happen.) So, any suggestions on how to get around this Vista created problem?
