FolderName

Comments

The InitialFolder property defines the initially selected file/folder using a path name.

The InitialFolder property can be used to select a specific file/folder. In a TreeView style control (see ControlStyle property) the folder's parent folders are automatically expanded, while collapsing all unnecessary folders.

The full pathname must be specified for FolderName, including a file extension for files (even if the file extension is not normally displayed). Particularly for links, the file extension ".lnk" must be appended.

The InitialFolderSpecial property can be used to select a file/folder using its system-independent CSIDL.
