1. Win32Lib: selectDirectory() Starting Directory

Win32Lib has a selectDirectory() function which displays a dialog from which the user can select a directory. Is there any way to set the starting directory of this dialog? Is there a way to confine it to that directory and its subdirectories?

Try the archive. Look for:
Extra routines offered for win32lib
These routines may be included with an unaltered win32lib because different names are used. In particular:
select_Directory.

I should have mentioned that the directory search can only be confined to certain standard directories and their subdirectories.
For example, the directories referred to (on Windows XP) as:
My Documents
Program Files
Recent

In the archives there is a file called "browsdir" - do a search on it - and it allows you to do a directory search from any given start directory. I find it invaluable...
