Thanks Greg and Mike777,

   Now a new problem had popped up.
Here's my code:

filename = getOpenFileName(
                          MainWin,                  -- parent window
                          "H:\\",                         -- no default name
                          {"Dialog Flags", {OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT},
                            "Rar Files", "*.RAR" ,    -- rar files
                            "All Files", "*.*" } )    -- everything else

It open in H: which is what I want but
now all files show up in the openDialog box not just the .rar files?
With my old code:

filename=getOpenFileName(0,"",   {"Dialog Flags", {OFN_ALLOWMULTISELECT},
                            "Rar Files", "*.RAR" ,    -- rar files
                            "All Files", "*.*" } )    -- everything else

only the .rar files showed up.
