Hi

I would like to use the shell function SHGetDesktopFolder
from within VB.NET, but I don't know how I can use it
without an implementation of the IShellFolder interface,
and was wondering if anyone could point out an answer, or
resources that would provide an answer

Thanks in advance

It would be nice if somebody said anything different but I asked this
some months ago and the answer was you have to implement the whole
interface.

I produced something (in C#) which pops up the system context menu, if
you would like me to mail it to you (about 35k but I will zip it) you
are welcome to convert it to VB.net.

It's not all my original work! I extracted the bits I needed from the
source of the "Magic Library" which you can download from
dotnetmagic.com FOC.

Let me know if you are interested.
