the API SHOpenFolderAndSelectItems() does this in much less code.
give it the idlist from the shortcut and away you go.

This call appears to be only for XP or better.
Anything comparable for W2k?

this is built on top of features that do exist in Win2K.
CLSID_ShellWindows/IShellWindows can be used to enumerate open folder
windows and to get to the FolderView (IShellView/IFolderView interfaces)
object that is hosted there. below is some code, with supporting helpers
that demonstrate some of this (some of these helpers are only in XP
but those too can be implemented on top of the shell architecture in Win2K).

For your information, "Find Target" can also be done with ShellExecute a command line as
"Explorer.exe /e,/select,C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe".
I tried and this works at WinXP.
I'm not sure if it also works at W2K or earlier Windows.

[To use the extension, either just regsvr32 it, or . . . . .]
Never having used regsvr32 before I was a little in doubt about what to do but it worked first try (actually 2nd try - had to copy "FindTarget.dll" to System32 folder) and I expect this will be a very valuable tool for me.
Thanks Paul

I'm quite annoyed why it isn't registering.
I'm using W2k srv, and not much else.
VC6.

|
|

I'm sorry there was a problem with my code.. I loaded it onto another system and discovered I was incorrectly adding the classid to the registry.
|
|
|
|
|
Any way to solve it? This function is very useful for me. I hope you can solve it. Thanks for your code.
