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.

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))

In my application I play sound files that are located in a folder on my computer's desktop.
Const sSoundFolder = "C:UsersChrisDesktopSound"
Now that I'm ready to deploy my app, I want to reference all the audio files so others can hear them in the application.
I read how to reference them... but what I don't know:
Do I have to change the above code to some sort of reference folder in my application instead of my desktop?

I'm trying to create a ntier desktop application using vb.net 2008.[code]...
By the way what i want to achieve is how to get the data as a List(Of String),because if i put the getMenu function into the presentation layer directly,it gives me the data as i expected..Also if i return as a string instead of List(Of String),it gives me the single data.

Is there any work around to this Error: [URl]..I have a Windows Service that needs to interact with the desktop (actually just the Systray). This service is working fine under WinXP, but not under Vista. After reading the article above I find it difficult to comprehend that Microsoft would simply just "do away" with support for "Interact with Desktop" because of a flaw in the OS (this is an OS problem, not a developer issue). I've never heard of any professional organization removing a feature because they can't figure out how to make the feature secure?? I'm hoping this article is just out dated or was not for the released version of Vista.Under Vista Business x64, the option to "Allow service to interact with desktop" is a check box in the Service Properties (Log On) tab, so if this feature isn't available for Vista, when is the option displayed?? But it does appear that the check box does nothing when checked.

I have a fairly straight forward peice of code that just tries to set the default saved directory for a standard .net save dialogue to a specific folder. If that folder doesn't exist, it sets it to the desktop. This works fine for everyone but one user who is getting the following error: Could not find special directory 'Desktop' How is that even possible?

Some of u already know I'm making a 'virtual desktop'- thing.Only one problem. When switching to a new desktop it starts a new instance of my app in that desktop (works) and on the form load event it says process.start("explorer.exe") <- here is the problem. It only shows a window not the actually bar.Also this may be important it shows the window, but when I navigate to explorer.exe 'C:Windowsexplorer.exe' and open it there. The explorer bar does show up.

This should create a desktop shortcut but instead it spits out an error that is because of the quotes inside quotes. They need to be there, I know this is the problem as I have tried without them and it has worked. Another problem though is that it creates the shortcut (when Idon'thave quotes in quotes) but wraps the whole TargetPath in quotes making the shortcut unusable. Here is my code:
Dim input As String
Dim s As String = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("UserProfile")
input = TextBox1.Text

I'm working on one of my applications and I'm trying to find a way to use the "Go To Desktop" function that goes directly to the desktop without minimizing any window (This can be achieved by clicking on the Win + D buttons or on the desktop icon in the quick launch toolbar), but how can I activate it using vb? I thought about sending keys but I guess there is more offical ways to do it.

Below is a tiny program I modified from an example Microsoft code tutorial. This program simply copies .flac and .mp3 files from one specified folder to another, and if the file is already there it simply does not copy the file. I would like to make 2 changes to the program:
How would I go about making the error handling work (i.e. not crashing the program when an invalid input is made)?Also, a big change I would like to make would be for it to copy the folder structure and all files in the original folder (At the moment, it only copies files that are directly in the original folder, not files that are in folders inside the original folder).

I am trying to add a registry key in to the file "MyApp" which doesn't yet exist in the registry key directory, when I try and write this key however I get an error from the debug console telling me the "NullReference was unhanded". If I go and manually make this folder it works brilliantly, I thought that this code would make the folder as well?

I have a textbox that is used to add directories to a system folder, each name seperated by a line. If the textbox has text value "Test " that is "Test" & controlchars.newline & "" (not like this is coded, it's typed in), then if i use loop for each part as string in textbox1.text.split(controlchars.newline), the first part will be "Test", the second part will say " " when i run step by step debugger, but if i try and block the addition of a folder by "if part = " "" it does not catch it. I've tried comparing part to "", " ", nothing (which is illogical anyways), and i even tried creating a boolean variable equal to the statment to try and catch it but the program insists that part is not " " even though the debugger tells me that is the value of part.
