goto wireshark\win32\file_dlg_win32.c make necessary modifications to build_file_type_list() or set appropriate filetype number to FILE_SAVE_DEFAULT macro.

Do you mean to put a question in bug tracker and answer/send patch to it?

A patch would be great, but the bug tracker entry would be a start.
