I do not think there is UI for it (yet). You have to put it manually
into the preferences file.

Riki

OK, thanks. But surely what was intended in the announcement was

\use_native_filedialog false

On my windows 7 system, using "false" here gives a dialogue I haven't seen before. File > 
Open for instance now provides a button for Examples which isn't there when "true" is used, and 
similarly File > New from Template now has a Templates button.
