With FolderBrowserDialog1
            .SelectedPath = My.Settings.defaultdir
            .ShowNewFolderButton = False

You need to get the DialogResult of the FolderBrowserDialog in your code.

        Dim dlgResult As DialogResult
        Dim mypath As String = ""
        With FolderBrowserDialog1
            .ShowNewFolderButton = False
            .Description = "Choose your folder"
            dlgResult = .ShowDialog()
            If Len(.SelectedPath) Then mypath = .SelectedPath
        End With
        If dlgResult = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Cancel Then
            MessageBox.Show("Dialog was cancelled")
        Else
            MessageBox.Show("Selected Folder " & mypath)
        End If
