as anyone should know, there IS a history link on SDC. when you read it it says and I quote :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows 2000/XP or later required.
Enhance your common file dialogs with additional features, including
most recently used folders, shortcuts, sorting options, custom sizing,
text shortcuts, grid lines, and more!
0.80
------
A reboot is required after a new installation or update for Enhanced
Dialog to function.
Some applications (e.g. CorelDraw and Microsoft Office apps) have
their own custom File dialogs. Enhanced Dialog will not modify those.
If you create a .lnk shortcut and place it in the .\Shortcuts subdirectory,
you can type the name of that shortcut in the File name field in a
dialog to jump to that location. An example root.lnk has been included
that will change to C:\.
Holding down the left Ctrl key when launching an app will bypass the
Enhanced Dialog loading for that instance of the program. There is an
exclusion list that can be used if something is really unhappy, but please
let us know via support@stardock.com what you've had to exclude.

I have no idea about the java, since I don't have any of it installed. it seems to work perfect here. I'm not a tech support guy for stardock though. as for the ico files I have no idea. and I really have no idea about your large dialog boxes. these are all isolated problems from what I can tell. I haven't seen anyone mention anything about them in #stardock.
