Is it possible to set the root folder of FolderBrowsserDialog to any
folder I want. ie c:\temp or something?

Haven't yet found a way to do this.

Thanks for any responses.

No, only folders defined as SpecialFolder. I'm not sure you can change a SpecialFolder to point to any folder either, and in any case it will probably be better to just create your own customized FolderBrowserDialog.

Happy coding!
