Please don't do this.

The user is used to where these buttons appear. If you try to change their layout then you will just make you app feel wrong.

If you have to do this then should make sure you use the legacy file dialogs (which will make your dialogs look even more odd on Vista/7). Use the lpfnHook field in the OPENFILENAME struct to obtain hooks in to the dialog procedure. Respond to the CDN_INITDONE notification and move the buttons around with MoveWindow or SetWindowPos. You'll have to hunt for the button window handles.

But really, please don't do this, you'll just make your app worse.
