Alright is there a way to have the common dialog box never be able to switch the path that is given. for example. Say I only want the user to be able to save and open files from the folder happy in the c drive. So now I can say to start in the directory C:\happy\ but is there a way so that the user can't leave that folder. I would use file boxes but they are so un professional looking compared to the common dialog. Thanks!!
