>>Yes, antique version of Win95/Win95a or NT4 pre SP3 that have never had the Shell components updated via IE 4 will not be able to use Shell.Application; everything else, including Win95b and any of the preceding OS versions that did have IE4 installed with the Active Desktop components will have no trouble with it.

>Works like a charm! The only other question I have is whether or not I can eliminate (or disable) the "New Folder" button and can I position the window to the center of the screen when it appears. (I'm running in 1152x864 and the window pops up in the upper left of the screen.) If these two issues are not changeable, its really not a problem.
WRT the New Folder button, yes, you can disable it by BITOR()ing the value for the ulFlags argument with the value for BIF_NONEWFOLDERBUTTON, which can be found in the Windows Header SHLOBJ.H file - the available options are:
ulFlags
Flags specifying the options for the dialog box. This member can include zero or a combination of the following values: BIF_BROWSEFORCOMPUTER Only return computers. If the user selects anything other than a computer, the OK button is grayed.
BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER Only return printers. If the user selects anything other than a printer, the OK button is grayed.
BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES Version 4.71. The browse dialog box will display files as well as folders.
BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEURLS Version 5.0. The browse dialog box can display URLs. The BIF_USENEWUI and BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES flags must also be set. If these three flags are not set, the browser dialog box will reject URLs. Even when these flags are set, the browse dialog box will only display URLs if the folder that contains the selected item supports them. When the folder's IShellFolder::GetAttributesOf method is called to request the selected item's attributes, the folder must set the SFGAO_FOLDER attribute flag. Otherwise, the browse dialog box will not display the URL.
BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN Do not include network folders below the domain level in the dialog box's tree view control.
BIF_EDITBOX Version 4.71. Include an edit control in the browse dialog box that allows the user to type the name of an item.
BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE Version 5.0. Use the new user interface. Setting this flag provides the user with a larger dialog box that can be resized. The dialog box has several new capabilities including: drag and drop capability within the dialog box, reordering, shortcut menus, new folders, delete, and other shortcut menu commands. To use this flag, you must call OleInitialize or CoInitialize before calling SHBrowseForFolder.
BIF_NONEWFOLDERBUTTON Do not include the "New Folder" button in the browse dialog box.
BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS Only return file system ancestors. An ancestor is a subfolder that is beneath the root folder in the namespace hierarchy. If the user selects an ancestor of the root folder that is not part of the file system, the OK button is grayed.
BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS Only return file system directories. If the user selects folders that are not part of the file system, the OK button is grayed.
BIF_SHAREABLE Version 5.0. The browse dialog box can display shareable resources on remote systems. It is intended for applications that want to expose remote shares on a local system. The BIF_USENEWUI flag must also be set.
BIF_STATUSTEXT Include a status area in the dialog box. The callback function can set the status text by sending messages to the dialog box.
BIF_UAHINT When combined with BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE, adds a usage hint to the dialog box in place of the edit box. BIF_EDITBOX overrides this flag.
BIF_USENEWUI Version 5.0. Use the new user interface, including an edit box. This flag is equivalent to BIF_EDITBOX | BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE. To use BIF_USENEWUI, you must call OleInitialize or CoInitialize before calling SHBrowseForFolder.
BIF_VALIDATE Version 4.71. If the user types an invalid name into the edit box, the browse dialog box will call the application's BrowseCallbackProc with the BFFM_VALIDATEFAILED message. This flag is ignored if BIF_EDITBOX is not specified.
