Hi,
I originally wanted to do that, but I wasn't sure if the QWS list
accepts links. I know some folks are very weary of running .reg files.
Anyway, for those who want the .reg file, here's a link:

@Gavin:
Might it be worth putting that registry file somewhere and linking to
it for people having this issue, so they can simply import it and have
a nice, sequencing life?
Just a thought.
Hope all is well.

Subject: Re: QWS List Open/save dialog with NVDA?
Hi Damien,
I've seen this, too. I have no idea why this problem comes up, but I
did find a fix for it. There are two methods to apply this fix.
1. If you have the Pro version of Windows 10, you can use the group
policy editor.
Press Windows+R, type "gpedit.msc" and press Enter.
In the tree view, navigate to "Local Group Policy > User
Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File
Explorer > Common Open File Dialog."
Tab to the list, select "Hide the Common Places Bar" and press Enter.
In the dialog that comes up, press Alt+E to select the "Enabled"
radio button, then press Enter.
Close the group policy editor and restart your computer.
2. If you do not have Windows 10 Pro, or you prefer to get down and
dirty with the registry, you can use Registry Editor.
Press Windows+R, type "regedit" and press Enter.
In the tree view, navigate to
"Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies."
Press Alt+E to go to the Edit menu, press N to select New, and then
press K to select Key.
In the Key Name edit box, type "Comdlg32" and press Enter.
In the tree view, make sure your focus is on "Comdlg32," then tab to
the list.
Press Alt+E to go to the Edit menu, press N to select New, and then
press D to select DWORD (32-bit) Value.
In the Value Name edit box, type "NoPlacesBar" and press Enter.
In the list, arrow down to "NoPlacesBar" and press Enter.
In the Value Data edit box, type "1" and press Enter.
Close Registry Editor and restart your computer.
Hope this helps. Please let us know if it works for you.
Regards,
Gavin

Hi,
Are there any NVDA users on here? If so, have you had trouble with
the open/save-as dialogs in QWS at any point since November last
year (namely files and folders not reading in the browser list)?
I started having this after a Windows update (from Windows 10 1809
to 1909), but put it to one side in case it was some weird issue
with my four-year-old machine and some messy Windows garbleness. But
it doesn't seem to be...I'm getting the same behaviour on my new
machine (now running Windows 10 2004), as is a friend of mine who
I'm currently teaching to use it, also on a new machine.
Unfortunately, I've no idea what could be causing the issue; QWS is
using a standard Windows dialog box, which NVDA has absolutely no
trouble accessing in other programs. To make matters even more
confusing, Narrator works fine with the QWS dialogs.
I wrote to the NVDA list regarding this at the time it started but
noone could shed any light on the issue, and several subsequent
updates to NVDA and Windows don't seem to have fixed it.
In case anyone wants to test it, I'm using NVDA 2020.2 (although at
the time the problem started I was on 2019.2.1) and QWS 1.56.
Cheers.
Damien.
