Bug ID: 56395
           Summary: Open/save file dialog shows not drive:
                    err:commdlg:IShellBrowserImpl_BrowseObject could not
                    browse to folder
           Product: Wine

          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux

"Open File" dialog with no drive available, displayed from Notepad.exe (in
French)

Using a win32 profile that has works for years and still 2 weeks ago, the Open
File and Save File dialogs now does not show any disk drive, which usually
makes the application useless.

When the dialog is displayed, the following message is displayed on the
console:
    0024:err:commdlg:IShellBrowserImpl_BrowseObject could not browse to folder
(first 4 digits are not constant)

The simplest way to get the error is:
    wine notepad
Then File / Open

The problem is with the dialog, not with the drive itself, since using
    wine cmd
and typing "DIR" commands, the drives are present and readable.

The bug can be "solved for me", since it does not happen with a new win32 or
win64 prefix, but according to web searches, it is quite common and unsolved
except by creating a new profile, so there might be something to be done.

Sometimes using a wineprefix for a long time and updating corrupts the prefix
as.sometimes there are breaking changes. So please test with a clean prefix.

Yes, as I mentioned, it works with a clean prefix.

Just that I feel that it is not normal to have such breaking changes: the "Open
File" common dialog is not anything special, if updating is to break that,
better not updating anything.
