How to show "Desktop" in DirListBox?

[softwareguy74]

hi,

I'm trying to create my own file browse window for my app. The problem is that the DirListBox control does not show any folders that are not standard letters such as c:\, d:\ etc.. It will not show the Desktop or any folders attached to the Desktop, like My Computer, or My Network Places..

How can this be accomplished without having to use the DialogBox control? Can I use a TreeView? How?

Thanks,

Dan

you can't access my computer, and network neighbor hood, and the recyling bin, no matter what you do

I don't think that is true. I have seen it done without using the Common Dialog Box control..

well thats diffrent

you can see the desktop by going to :

c:\windows\desktop in win 95/98/ME
and
c:\documents and settings\username\desktop in win nt/2k/xp

Why not use the Common Dialog Control?
