FWF_SINGLESEL
Do not allow more than a single item to be selected. This is used in the
common dialog boxes.

Used by IShellFolderView

Whoich I think is this under bags

FFlags

If it is, a random documents folder had settings of;

FWF_AUTOARRANGE (which I use)
Automatically arrange the elements in the view. This implies LVS_AUTOARRANGE
if the list view control is used to implement the view.
FWF_FULLROWSELECT (dunno - maybe stacking)
Windows Vista: When an item is selected, the item and all its sub-items are
highlighted.
FWF_USESEARCHFOLDER (dunno I not ever stacked anything)
Windows Vista: Use the search folder for stacking and searching.

So perhaps common dialogs mistakenly write to the shell. Or the shell if it
can't find a shell bag uses the common dialog bag.
