I have a shell extension made in .NET that creates folders (think of it as a context menu New -> New Folder option clone) and uses a InputBox to input the name of the folder from the user. Instead I want to send the rename command on the folder to the already open Windows Explorer window. It should be just like how Explorer lets us name a new folder:
On searching, I found this : Windows Explorer Shell Extension: create file and enter "rename" mode. It says to use the IShellView::SelectItem function with the SVSI_EDIT flag. How do I do that with .NET?

I want to make a program that is similar to Windows Explorer. It will have a button that when you click it it opens a FolderBrowserDialog and it will have an area that displays the contents of the selected folder. I want to have a label that displays the current folder path (i.e. 'USERDocuments...') and I also would like a feature to search all files on the computer.Also, is it possible that when I click on a file in the contents of the selected folder it displays its information (i.e. Name, Size, etc.)? And can I also make it so that if you double click on another folder in the current folder's display it opens that folder? And can I have a button to go up one directory?

I'm trying to create a software in VB.Net to disable the following from a Windows 7 pc. Cut, copy, paste, rename, delete, open, print, share, create shortcut, open with, send to, properties. i want to give users the option of disabling them selectively/individually via checkboxes so those options will be disabled in the right-click of a mouse. I'm aware that to do so I must disable them from the Windows registry.
My problem is I don't know which is the right key to disable as the registry is so huge & some keys are similiarly named. say what are the exact key locations of the above-mentioned right-click functions in the Windows Registry ?

So i have this code that will rename one of the folder:
FileIO.FileSystem.RenameDirectory("C:Program FilesYahoo!", "Yahoo!1")
but when I run the code..it say's: IOException was Unhandled
Access to the path 'C:Program FilesYahoo!' is denied.
I think the OS is the cause of the problem. because in Windows 7 it asks for permission to change the name.
How could i make the program to continue renaming when the log in user is administrator.

I'm trying to create a program where I can hold my own files and be able to put a password upon opening the program. Once I put the password in, I'd then be able to access, make changes, and open my files that I choose to put in there. I did try this, but I get UnauthorizedAccessException. I get it when it reaches:
For Each mDirectory As IO.DirectoryInfo In mNodeDirectory.GetDirectories in TreeView1_BeforeExpand
Private mRootPath As String = "C:Users"

I am trying to make my application run on Windows 7 X64. The application runs fine, however the explorer process keeps crashing after i started or ended the application. Explorer crashes mostly on right mouse button clicks. This gives me a feeling there are pointer problems / mem overloads with the application Application CPU is set to X86, i ran into debug mode with stack traces no serious issues found. I am using a couple of Api's and i know there are rules regarding WOW64 mode however they are really unclear. MSDN doesn't supply the information i need. The information supplied only raishes more questions lol.

I want to list all open Windows Explorer windows with their active path in a ListBox. The app should refresh the ListBox if the explorer window is navigated to a different path.
For e.g. two explorer windows are open. One is navigated to C:Windows and the other is navigated to D:Stuff. When the app it run, it adds C:Windows and D:Stuff to the ListBox. Then, the user navigates to a different folder in one of the open explorer windows like C:Windowssystem32. The app should then refresh the ListBox and list C:Windowssystem32 and D:Stuff instead.

I want to catch the event of deletion, renaming or copying a file in Windows Explorer. For example, if a folder contains the files "test.a" and "test.b", and that I remove "test.a", then my program will remove the two (same for copy and rename).I know how to add an entry to the context menu of Windows. But the goal isn't to add functionality to Windows. The goal is to redefine an existing function.

I wrote a program that runs in the background and waits for me to hit a predefined key combination.
When I hit this key combination I want it to do the following
Check and verify that Windows Explorer is up If IE open, I want it to get the current/active windows explorer screen directory.
So lets say I had windows explorer opened to "c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"
Then when I press my key combination "shift+t" my program will get the directory of my windows explorer.
So it should display a message saying something like "Active Directory: c:\program files(x86)\my Folder"

I'm making a music player, where a user can add and remove music from a treeview control. However, for each song, the user must enter the name and artist. The file path, artist and name are then all saved. I've noticed that in Windows Explorer, in the music library, it already has the song name, artist etc. How could I get my application to read this information and add it as a string?
For example,
Private SongName As String
Private ArtistName As String
Private FilePath As String
