    How can I display My Computer folder in a CFileDialog? I tried with SHGetSpecialFolderPath , but the path is empty, i believe because Ny Computer is a vitual folder, not a system one or a real one.Thank you.

      you can set a default directory if your CFileDialog opens. look into the ONF structure or something. Don't know if it will work with Virtual Folders though. Good luck. "If I don't see you in this world, I'll see you in the next one... and don't be late." ~ Jimi Hendrix

        Only some CSIDLs are supported with SHGetFolderPath(), and CSIDL_DRIVES is not one of them. You can, however, use CSIDL_DRIVES in conjunction with SHBrowseForFolder().
