Removing the "*.*" option will not remove the user's ability to show all files, and execute potentially unsafe programs. Just try entering "*" in any file dialog, and you'll all the files, no matter what the currently selected filter is.

What you really want, is a way to lock down program execution on Windows. That is actually possible. It seems to be called Software Restriction Policy (SRP). Read about it on, for example, MS Technet.

Tx I will give it a try!

I think there is a way to bypass the windows dialog. There is as far as I know an option to use a crossplatform file-dialog, I suppose this one don't have that option. Another thing would be looking for a .NET class that will handle the case.

Unfortunately I can't test it right now because I'm uninstalling 8.0 and installing 8.2

[Edit:]Found it, it is an option in Tools>Options>Envirenment>Use native File dialogs[/edit]

Hi I have version 2010 and I cannot find it in Tools>Options>Envirenment>Use native File dialogs

Do you know how to do it in version 2010?

Tx,
