>I think Martina made some custom modifications of this dialog. I'm not sure if she has single folder dialog, though.

It was some modifications for dialog created by function SHBrowseForFolder() acros callback function (in cvp.fll - http://gorila.netlab.cz/download/cvp/cvpfll-0118.zip).
API function GetOpenFileName() support callback function and template dialog. It's possible hide left panel across hook function, but good way is create FLL library.
