I did it the flag param makes it possible to navigate through the net.
What I want to do is to open the dialog box with \\mypcName selected
One solution would be to check the shared disk device and to set the default directory to one of them
But what if I don't have any volume shared but just a single path ?

How could I get the shared drives and directories ?
