In Notepad++ (Windows 7), is there a way to disable the Common File Dialog Box when saving a file? I would like to replace it with the standard Save File Dialog Box.
Notepad++ uses this dialog box for saving:

On the File menu, click Save As to open the Save As dialog box. This lets you save a copy of the open project as a template or as a new project with a different name and location. The Save As dialog box is a standard Windows dialog box.
The Save As dialog box lets the user specify the drive, directory, and name of a file to save. You create and display a Save As dialog box by initializing an OPENFILENAME structure and passing the structure to the GetSaveFileName function.
To save a file using the SaveFileDialog component. Display the Save File dialog box and call a method to save the file selected by the user. Use the SaveFileDialog component's OpenFile method to save the file. This method gives you a Stream object you can write to.
By pressing F12, Save As dialogue box will open.
The feature was implemented on 2017-01-30.
Settings > Preferences... > Default Directory > Enable "Use new style save dialog (without file extension feature)".

From the sounds of it this feature is on the books for the next release of Notepad++ once the support for XP goes away, details here: https://github.com/notepad-plus-plus/notepad-plus-plus/issues/176
