Description
When one of the tool that I use ask me to select specific directory, it popups "Browse For Folder" window, which looks like this:

but in Windows 7 there is another window type, which looks like this:

Is there any way to use this new window type instead of old one?

Very good question. I think this may be better off in the forum rather than on trac though.
There is a C# solution here: http://www.lyquidity.com/blog/?p=136
In terms of doing it from AutoIt: MS changed superseded all the old api call dialogs with objects, so now the file open/save dialogs both inherit from IFileDialog. My guess is that the new folder select dialog is the same.
I'll have a look later tonight hopefully and get you an AutoIt example.

Hello,
I already asked about this: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/154698-fileselectfolder-windows-7-and-later-new-window-type/
Many thanks for you reply, the example for AutoIt would be great!
