If you're using 2.0 I strongly recommend an update to 2.2 for all of the shiny new conveniences - too numerous to list - and if you don't like the new file-open dialog then either use something else and paste it into an Open/Location box or write your own dialog. That multitude of conveniences make an inordinate difference to the joy factor.
