How to filter content with desktop.ini & folder.htt?

[Jan Aagaard]

I am trying to filter the contents of a folder in Explorer. My
approach is to use a costumized desktop.ini & folder.htt for the
folder.

It's easy enough to list all the files in the folder with the
WebViewFolderContents object
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...bviewfoldercontents/webviewfoldercontents.asp),
but is there a way to limit the files shown by this object? I need a
more advanced filter, than just the ability to hide hidden and system
files.

My ultimate goal is to make search folders in Explorer, that work like
the search folders for e-mail in Outlook 2003.

Thanks a lot for the help!

No, it wouldn't be a folder view. You need to write a namespace extension.
