Save As dialog -- File Name input box shows a combobox style list
How do I eliminate the annoying combo box drop down when I start to type a new file name I want to save?
- as soon as I type "C:\" a list of 20 previously saved files drops down,
(or on my laptop, unfurls UP covering the entire folder tree.
Applies to TXT files I am trying to save.
Because Win7 does not remember the last folder saved-to, I always have "Explorer++" open to copy the same folder path to the "Save As" dialog -- paste into "File Name".
As soon as I add "\" to the folder string the list of past folders and files opens-down/up
In XP this was disabled by adding a new registry entry to ...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\comdlg32
Name:= NoFileMru
Type:= REG_DWORD
Value:= 1
How do I do this in Windows 7 Home?
Thank you

Third party apps I am using
Metapad -- anything is better than Notepad
ClipX -- clipboard tool
Explorer++ -- leaves native Windows Explorer for dead
Classic Shell -- start menu
FileSearchEX -- I have hundreds of TXT files, native Windows Explorer cannot search "contents"
