This little utility, Let Me See!, used to do what you ask in Windows 95 -
Customize Common Dialogs:
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article02-028
but I do not know if it works in Win98, as I have never tried it there, and it
states "for Win95 only".

Here's the readme file, from 1996:

You might test it, and let us know. I can ony say it worked in Windows 95.

What OS are you referring to? You have posted in Win2K, Win98, and WinXP groups.
