I want to set the selected path of the folder dialog box to a path of a flashdrive or hdd, let us say that its F: , but it still depends to the computer used right ? so that's my problem. The code that i've tried is working but what if its not F:

What I have tried:

folderBrowserDialog1.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath = @"f:\"
if (folderBrowserDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
txtLocation.Text = folderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath;
}

Do not hard code these sort of parameters, since you do not know in advance whether that drive letter is valid: let the user choose.

I prefer to use open file dialog instead as old dialog don't show files...

thanks i've already saw that but i want to add a validation -- there will be a message box that says there's no removable disk. I can't do it :( because the variables that i need is inside the foreach-loop but if i put the message box inside it, the message box will show multiple times :(

By the way, use code block for your code.
