But their path will be selected. If you set the .selectedpath before you call the dialogue, what you put in there prior to calling the dialog will show up as "preselected" but if the user changes it, when they close the dialog and you look at selectedpath it will be whatever they changed it to and you move on from there. Are you not getting this behavior?

In your code below add fbg.selectedpath = (whatever) right after fbd.description.

if the user changes it you'll see the change in your last line of code.

Am I misunderstanding what you are saying? Do you want to prevent them from picking something, or limit their choices or do you just want to point them in the right direction?

>>>Hello,

>>>I have a windows app in .Net 3.5. When the user pushes a button, I would like to open the FolderBrowserDialog to a specified network drive. When I use the control, I see that there are specific default file locations built it, i.e., Desktop, My Documents, etc.; however, I do not see a manner in which you can set the default location to a network drive, i.e., N:\.
