Folder Browser Dialog

When trying to use a folder browser dialog, my application freezes. I
found this is only when I set the default to "MyDocuments". Has anyone
experienced something similar. I'm thinking it's a Windows issue and not
a VB issue.

What code are you using?

I was not able to repro the problem using this code (Windows XP Professional
SP2, .NET 1.1 SP1):

\\\
Dim fb As New FolderBrowserDialog
fb.SelectedPath = _
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolde r.Personal)
fb.ShowDialog()
fb.Dispose()
///
