Hi, a quick comment on radio buttons. Radio buttons are not accessed
uniformly in Windows applications. Sometimes one can TAB from one radio
button to another within a single control. Better in my opinion is to TAB
among controls and then use the up/down arrows to check the radio buttons
within a single control. Then set/reset with spacebar. Is ther actually a
recommended behavior?

Radio buttons shouldn't cause any problems. You still should be able to tab
between the controls. There were problems when using checkboxes too. If you
tabbed too far you would get stuck. Isn't this a standard Windows dialog
with standard windows controls?
The Recent Files dialog is OK. You can tab completely around that dialog and
it works.

This is why I originally used checkboxes!
