capture the WM_ACTIVEAPP path

[YeOlFart]

Hi, I need to capture the path of any window opened in Windows Explorer as it opens (preferrably have it's path sent to clipboard) while my app runs in the system tray.
I have searched the web and read so much I'm suffering from an input overload. I'm not all that up to speed with programming jargon (self taught ) so please dumb it down when replying. If your reply includes sample snippets please tell me what part of the snippet goes into a Module, what part goes on the main form, ect.

Thank you

Hmm, still no replies. It's because I'm green isn't it?

I know that Windows Explorer sends messages each time you click on an item in the folder tree. The WM would most likely be "Window Message" and the "ACTIVEAPP" is the display name of the opened folder. The full path of which is displayed in the AddressBar of Windows Explorer.

Okay, if we don't know how to capture the Window Messages then perhaps someone here knows how to access the Windows Explorer history (where it logs navigation for the "Back" & "Forward" button events). Similar to Internet Explorer's "History" but for Windows Explorer (XP). Although it's most likely only held in memory.

Sheesh! Now I've just thought of another question to give the same result.
Is there a way to call AddressBar.change from Windows Explorer?

Thank you.
