Customizing the file types displayed in a Save As dialog

Hi, is there a way that can be done to change the file types displayed in the
Save As dialog box?

When using the Save As dialog box, it filters the files within the target
directory to only show those of the save type, eg if a folder has .pdf and
..doc files in it and I am saving a .doc file, I cannot see the .pdf files.

I am trying to see all file types in the save as target directory
irrespective of the type of file I am saving.

If it's offered, you can select "Any type (*.*)" - you can still save as
.doc, but you'll be able to see all the others.
 
Thanks, unfortunately it doesn't provide that option on a save as.

As well as being able to view all the file types in the target folder, I
still want it tog default to the selected file type so that the user only has
to type <filename> and then the .<ext> is appended if not included.
eg File.pdf the user just types in File
 
Thanks. Thats how I would like it to look, however is there a way to have
this as default rather than typing it in?
