I have a Log folder with files named after creation date: 20110301.txt, 20110302.txt, etc. I want to programmatically open an Explorer with filtered files that created on Feb. So it's like open Explorer -> Search -> Search for 201102*
I tried the code below to open Explorer with Search, but I cannot state which folder I want to search and with what conditions. Is it possible do so?

I have a program that works when, a file is opened with it using the right click menu in explorer. But if I select multiple files and then right click and open with my program then it opens multiple instances of my program, instead of just passing the multiple files as arguments to a single instance. The program is written in vb.net but is not a windows form, it is just a module, so I can to tick the Single instance option in the properties in Visual Studio.So how do I open multiple files from explorer context menu in a single instance.

View 5 RepliesI 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.
