In a C# program, how can I obtain the contents of My Network Places (i.e., a
set of UNC paths) in order to use them in a menu of my own design? My
Network Places does not appear to be a folder of links, which is what I
thought it was. Is it kept in the Registry?

"My Network Places" is a shell namespace extension. I think there's
still no direct support for shell namespaces in .NET 2, so you'll have
to use interop to access the namespace. There's a series of very good
articles on Code Project that explain how to do this (this is the first):
