Microsoft documents this somewhere. The behavior of open file dialogs
(i.e., the initial directory that they start up in) is not what you would
think, and is not the same in different versions of Windows. Basically,
Windows tries to remember where you most recently opened a file with that
extension, and it goes there. But the scheme for doing this varies among
versions.
As best I can make out, RestoreDirectory has to do with the current
directory in which the program is running; it has little effect on where the
dialogs open up.

If you observe my code there is a statement in my code.
openFileDialog.RestoreDirectory = false;
RestoreDirectory property is set to false means the dialog box doesn't
restore the current directory before closing. I made it to true so that it
restores the current directory. Now i can delete the folder from explorer
after closing the openfiledialog. But here i just want to know the current
directory means the directory in which the application is running or the
directory i gave as initial directory.
Please explain this.
Thanks,
Chandu.

closing my application i am able to delete the same folder from the same
explorer window.

Are you sure that this isn't a problem with explorer?
I often get such error when I have the folder that I want to delete
opened within explorer...
