Dialogs in IE 9

Post by amutch »

With IE 9 and PWB on Windows 7, we can't access the Common Open File Dialog that we had in XP. When users want to save files or upload files, they can't see the My Documents folder, which is an option we want them to have. Ideally, we could display dialogs that look like this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx

Or if someone knows how to add "My Documents" to the left hand column in the Windows 7/IE9 dialog, that would be an acceptable alternative.

Thanks!

PWB simply sends the Save As or Open requests to IE. The issue is the Save As and Open common dialogs in Windows 7 gather the "My Documents" into Libraries.

For example:

The "My Documents" are called "Documents" within the Libraries.

Scott,

Thanks. We have Libraries disabled in our public profiles to keep people from wandering off. I'll have to see if there's another way to address that without enabling libraries.
