Hello all,
I have an ExplorerBrowser in a Winform, It works as expected showing all folders and all files within the folders, What I would like to do though is to show only file types pdfs and powerpoint files as I browse the folders.

I am a beginner in vb.net programming and it's proving differcult for me, it may be I'm going about this totally the wrong way and would appreciate any help

I suppose you have used DriveListBox, DirListBox and FileListBox...
just add in the FileList definition this code:

FileListBox1.Pattern = "*.pdf; *.ppt"
