I've got a program that's using an IFileDialog (standard Windows dialog) to open files. And on some computers, it all works as expected, but on others, the Open button has an arrow with a dropdown menu that adds a second option, "show previous versions".
A bit of research indicates that this is an OS thing related to System Restore, and it can be disabled by turning off System Restore entirely. But that would be using global state to manage a local problem. Is there any way to simply configure the dialog to not show the dropdown menu?

It has been working all this while since I upgraded to Xcode11.2. A couple of days back noticed it and now it's not allowing me to add an editor to the layout. Similar to Editor changes introduced in Xcode 11.
Tried:
Restarting Xcode
Rebooting MacBook
No Xcode update pending in AppStore
Any other suggestions to try before reinstalling the Xcode?
Current State for Xcode:
Disabled Editor add option
Disabled Editor option via Menu->Editor
Update A:
After using "Adjust Editor Option"
This Assistant is not the same as regular editor.
An editor would allow the user to independently open any file (and not always show to counterpart files). Plenty of visual space as using external monitor 24".
Update 2:
It seems to be an issue with the current project only (perhaps some messed up .xcodeproj setting?). Opened another project, and I'm able to see the "Add editor on right" just fine.
Unfocus the Editor
Turned out to be that Editor was in focused mode. As soon as an editor is in focused mode, Xcode hides the other editors and disables "adding editors to right" option on the menu and right bar.
Use the following key combination to toggle the focus-unfocus the editor.
Control + Shift + Command + Enter
Or use the
Assistant Editor
Assistant is now under the editor option menu (left itme).
Also you can use control+option+command+return shortcut
Add Editor
The other one that is disabled is Add Editor on Right. Some times its getting disabled because there is not enough space to show another editor. You can change the position of it to below by holding option and click. This will convert it to Add Editor Below
In Windows Seven, I'm aware of the "Default Programs" dialog in Control Panel, which lets me associate pre-defined extensions with programs. However, I need to add an association for a file extension that isn't in the list. In WinXP, I'm pretty sure I could add entries to the list, but that doesn't appear to be immediately available in Windows Seven.
If you select a file with the desired extension in Explorer and click on it, a dialog box pops up that lets you select a program from a list. Click that. Then you can CLick on "Browse..." and select the program you want the file to be opened with. I have not tried, but you might be able to change it through the Default Programs afterwards.
I have a development tool that's crashing on launch, and I don't get to see any error messages it throws, or get a chance to debug it, because it shows the Windows 7 dialog for crashed programs, where it says "Windows is checking for a solution..."
I want to have my old school big ass assert dialog box back, with a big "DEBUG" button. I have JIT completely enabled in Visual Studio's options and settings, so I'm not sure why I'm not getting the option.
Use Regedit, navigate to the below path:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\DontShowUI]
Create a DWORD and set the value to 1.
This blog post on raymond.cc contains an expanded version of the steps suggested in Krzysztof John's answer.

Turn Off The Error Dialog Via The Registry
Although editing the registry manually is not recommended for average users, sometimes there isn’t a choice because something like the Group policy Editor might not be available in your version of Windows or the group policy method itself doesn’t work. This works on Windows Vista and above.
Open the Registry Editor by typing regedit into the Start search box or the Win+R Run dialog.
Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting
Double click the DontShowUI entry on the right and change its value to 1, then close the registry editor.
. . .
The above registry fix will turn off the popup dialog for the current user, if you want the setting to affect all users on the computer then a similar registry key needs to be created in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. This key isn’t present by default so needs to be created.

control panel -> troubleshooting -> change settings
In my case this solved same problem:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center\Problem Reporting Settings
set to "never check for solutions"
On my old Windows Vista Home Basic install, the option is hidden in a completely different place beneath the control panel:
Control Panel → Classic View → Problem Reports and Solutions → Change Settings → Advanced Settings → “For my programs, problem reporting is: [×] Off”
For some reason I've lost the dropdownbox above the text editor. The one that lists all methods, variables and properties in a class. And it makes me go crazy when I browse larger classes.
Maybe it is easier to enable "Navigation bar" option under "Tools->Options->Text Editor->[The language that you using]->General]
Have you tried resetting the interface?
from the command line run devenv.exe /resetsettings
2.. From Visual Studio
On the Tools menu, click Import and Export Settings.
On the Welcome to the Import and Export Settings Wizard page, click Reset all settings and then click Next.
If you want to save your current settings combination, click Yes, save my current settings, specify a file name, and then click Next.
—or—
If you want to delete your current settings combination, choose No, just reset settings, overwriting my current settings, and then click Next. This option does not delete default settings, which will still be available the next time you use the wizard.
In Which collection of settings do you want to reset to, select a settings collection from the list.
Click Finish.
The Reset Complete page alerts you to any problems encountered during the reset.
How does one preserve the settings in the Open Dialog box? For example, I would the Open Dialog to remember that I chose the Details view and sorted by date modified.
Microsoft didn't see fit to give us any documented way of doing this, but some people have figured out bits of the puzzle. This link shows how to set the view, but not how to get the current setting:

I'm not quite sure about this about isn't it an OS setting. If the user choose their Folder Preferences such as then Windows will remember or not. In this case from accessibility and usability point of view this is User's preferences.
You could inherit from the dialog's class and then see what can be overriden to do the persistence of its state.
Simple non-technical solution.
This worked for me (WinXP SP3) in some cases but not all. Since you don't have the option of changing things in a common Open dialog, you can try to do it in Windows Explorer.
Open Windows Eplorer. If you want to change the sort order, go to the details view and click on the column to sort, normally Name, but you may want to sort by Date. Now change
the view back to whatever you want. Now select "Tools" then "Folder Options". On the General tab, for "Tasks" select "Use Windows classic folders," for "Browse folders" select "Open each folder in same window." Now click the "View" tab. Scroll down and check the box for "Remember each folders view settings." If it's already checked, uncheck it then check it again. Click the "Apply" Button at the botton of the window. Click the "Apply to All Folders" button near the top. These settings may show up in your Open dialog. Having done this you can now change the settings in Windows Explorer or any other Folder window that allows you to change them and that Folder window should remember them. This fixed the Open dialog in my qraphics editor but not in my video editor.
