The demo has poor implementation of the common control APIs.
For the browse code, delete the line in ShowFolders:
bi.pidlRoot = SHSimpleIDListFromPath(mInitDir)
.... and try now. And BTW, the enum constant for Folder_INCLUDEFILES should
be &H4000, not &H4001. And the .uiflags Or test in ShowFolders should also
be tweaked to read &H4000 rather than &4001.
Since the demo has problems (the browse and other calls on that demo that
fail on vista) you should review
http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/browse/browseadv.htm to see how to properly
implement code to restrict the scope of the browse dialog.

I tried this but it still comes up with a scramble.
Could someone please copy the code from this page into a blank project and
run it. I can't get it to work with Windows Vist at all.
