I'm writing an application in which the user can select files from a directory structure. My problem is that I only have the C: drive and a D: drive. I also need to be able to provide access to the "Desktop" directory structure. How can I add the Desktop directory structure to a "Directory" control? I basically need something like Windows Explorer.

C:UsersusernameDesktop

I have written a data analysis program and I want to keep a list of recently accessed data files. I have kept this list in a text file in the same directory as my .ese file which is installed in a subfolder in my programs folder. But in Windows 7, it is not possible to write to files in the programs folder without assigning privileges to that folder which I found confusing to do. I would rather not subject clients to this process. It seems like a good place might be in one of the user folders. But I have no idea of how to go about establishing a path to such a folder in code. I thought it might be possible to identify an environment path such as %userapps% or some such thing that would work in both Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. I would also like to generate a .log file in the same directory to aid in debugging.

I'm making a little application in visual studio which loads a ROM in an emulator. I have two emulators and 20 ROMs.I made a form and added a few buttons. When you click the Button it opens a new form and closes the old one. Then on the new form I have four buttons: each one loads a different ROM in an emulator. So when you press Button1 this code is triggered:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles yellow.Click
Shell("C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesEmulatorVBAVisualBoyAdvance.exe ""C:UsersshiftyDesktoppokemon gamesRomsYellowPokemon Yellow.gb""", vbNormalFocus)
End Sub
It works fine - I click it and it loads the game in the emulator. The bit im having trouble with is the file paths. If I send this application to a friend, it would still look for "C:UsersshiftyDesktop" - but that's on my computer, not his.Is there a way to make the application look for the file on his computer (without changing the file path to (C:Users""his user name""Desktop))

I have the following classes
Public Class ObjectBase
<Key()>
Public Property Id As Integer
Public Property Description As String
End Class

Question 1 (and question 2) should be very simple, but I have allready spent hours on Google to find an answer with no result at all. The only thing I have found is that you can get all computers in ObjectBase by writing context.ObjectBase.OfType(Of Computer), and that does not help since you cannot write context.BorrowObjects.ObjectBase.OfType(Of Computer) code samples in VB.NET (if you can), but more importantly: Please ensure that the codesamples you supply work without hours of modification!
Suppose I want to broadcast CTRL+C to my program without using complicated code (accessing Windows API) to do it.
