Oh thanks, I always think what is there is the native. I don't realize the old graphics way is still there. Maybe the Win3.x style is still there too?

I think you can get back to Win9x/2k style controls by instructing the system to not add any theming. If you're finding a panel that is using 3.x controls, they're likely in the resources of the app/dll. Although the 3.x file picker can still be found in a couple of rare corners of the OS.
