Good news, bad news.
Good news: I've read about this and I know there's a fix
Bad news: I can't remember where...
Basically, what happens is that a particular bitmapped flag is
inappropriately set, so that all of Windows Explorer behaves as if it
were a "select one" dialog box, as is appropriate in various contexts
(e.g. "select Temp directory..." must get 1 and only 1 result).
There's a /kb article that enumerates these flags, as well as a how-to
apply this via RegEdit. But there's nothing in my browser favorites
or saved files, and I can't even remember whether it was in newsgroups
or private elists, let alone which :-(
