FileSelectFolder default?

[CyberSlug]

FileSelectFolder will not let me select the Desktop as the inital directory... it keeps insisting on using "My Computer" as the initially selected directory.

I've tried:

FileSelectFolder ( "Foo", "", 0, "::{FD4DF9E0-E3DE-11CE-BFCF-ABCD1DE12345}")
FileSelectFolder ( "Foo", "", 0, "")

I do not want to use @DesktopDir for aesthetic reasons. Solution?

I spent some time on this the day that you posted it - I could not find a way to get what you want. Did you give up?

FileSelectFolder ( "Foo", @DesktopDir, 0, "")

The actual CLSID for the desktop is ::{00021400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} according to http://www.virtualplastic.net/html/misc_cut.html

However, even that does not do the function you need.

I just coded a "workaround" script that should allow you to have the desktop selected. This script must be COMPILED to function.

AdlibEnable("adlib")
$open = 1
$caught = ""

$ret = RunWait(@ScriptFullPath & " /c ""MsgBox(0,'CatchMe',FileSelectFolder( 'Foo', '', 0, ''))""")
If $caught <> "" Then
    MsgBox(0, "Caught It!", $caught)
EndIf
AdlibDisable()

Func adlib()
    If BitAND(WinGetState("Browse for Folder", "Foo"), 2) Then
        If Not $open Then
            ControlFocus("Browse for Folder", "Foo", "SysTreeView321")
            Send("{HOME}")
            $open = 1
        EndIf
    Else
        $open = 0
    EndIf
    If WinExists("CatchMe") Then
        $caught = ControlGetText("CatchMe", "", "Static1")
        ControlClick("CatchMe", "", "OK")
    EndIf
EndFunc

Thanks for the original "jump out of the box, run down the street" Idea from Valik.
