Unfortunately and fortunately, like so many things in Windows there are lots
of ways to do similar things. We just need to figure out the ways that work
for each application we're trying to create.

Thanks Tom.
That's very helpful and appears to be what I should be looking into.

Hi Ron,

If you are trying to select a file you would use CFileDialog() and if you
are trying to select a folder you can use the SHBrowseForFolder()

interface.

Here's a link to a wrapper class for it:

http://www.codeproject.com/dialog/XBrowseForFolder.asp

Both of these list the drives and folders and special folders/devices,
but
the CFileDialog also list folders similar to the Explorer method.

Also, you could use a CListBox with this function call:
