Set InitialDirectory for FolderBrowserDialog

The .NET FolderBrowserDialog class does not have an InitialDirectory property like the OpenFileDialog class.  But fortunately, it’s quite easy to set an initial folder in the FolderBrowserDialog:

FolderBrowserDialog dialog = new FolderBrowserDialog();

dialog.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop;

dialog.SelectedPath = @"C:\Program Files";

if (dialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)

{

    Console.WriteLine( dialog.SelectedPath );

}

Note that you can choose other RootFolder’s like MyComputer and MyDocuments.  The SelectedPath must be a child of the RootFolder for this to work.

Given the sample code above, the dialog may look like this:
