Most programs "Save as..." does not show the filename nor the type of file extensions, unlike the open prompt. Some programs open/save fine (see image), some use the older prompt, others use the default, how it should look.

I've been pulling my hair out. I've edited in the registry. I've reset the BAGS/MRU, reset and deleted registry entries (tried SFC /SCANNOW) no good. Nothing seems to change it.
Is there a default CIDSave registry entry someone can post so I can try that? I recently took a default clean install, that had the prompt there fine and stole its registry:
But no go. I'm at a complete loss here. Help.
Thanks.
