.net - Why does FolderBrowserDialog not allow the desktop as SelectedPath when RootFolder is MyComputer?

Question

This works:

FolderBrowserDialog dlg = new FolderBrowserDialog();
dlg.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
dlg.SelectedPath = "C:\Almo";
dlg.ShowDialog();

This does not:

FolderBrowserDialog dlg = new FolderBrowserDialog();
dlg.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyComputer;
dlg.SelectedPath = "C:\Users\Almo\Desktop";
dlg.ShowDialog();

The first opens a fileselection dialog starting in C:Almo, the second started at MyComputer. Is there a way to make this work? The issue is my Application's default save location is the Desktop, and I want the user to be able to select a different location, and I want the dialog to start wherever the current location is.

Answer 1

Try:

Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.DesktopDirectory)
