Hi, I'm not familiar with FolderBrowserDialog, but you seem to violate the following MSDN remark: "If the SelectedPath property is set before showing the dialog box, the folder with this path will be the selected folder, as long as SelectedPath is set to an absolute path that is a subfolder of RootFolder (or more accurately, points to a subfolder of the shell namespace represented by RootFolder)." C:\Document is not inside SpecialFolder.Desktop (which is located much deeper, its exact position depends on you Windows version). :)

I use ListBoxes for line-oriented text, and PictureBoxes for pictures, not drawings.
