    Arrow Recreating Explorer In A Form

    How can I recreate windows explorer in my form? I would like my program to start with an explorer like window that you can navigate threw folders. Also I would like for the location of the folder that is being viewed in a text box. Like a navigation bar. Where should I start? If anyone has any example code please link it. Thanks for your time.

    VS has a Explorer Form item template. It might not be available in VB Express. If not then it's basically just a TreeView and a ListView. Look at the DirectoryInfo and FileInfo classes for getting the information.
