How to assign path to .RootFolder

[Martin]

Using VB.NET 2003:

I'm trying to use FolderBrowseDialog. I would like to initialize the
browsing to a specific folder, like "C:\" or "D:\MyTopFolder".

The .RootFolder property seems to accept only the numeric value
returned by Environment.SpecialFolder.whatever.

Is there a way to assign it the path of my choice?

Maybe you are looking for the 'SelectedFolder' property.

not sure if it works in .net but try looking up
app.path

OK, thanks - that worked.

But isn't the .RootFolder property there to specify where browsing is
supposed to start?

The root means that you can only select a folder that is contained in the
root directory.
