Dutch's VB Library - Files and Directories
Many applications must present information about disk drives, directories, and files. To allow users of your applications to explore the file system, Visual Basic provides two alternatives. You can use the standard dialog boxes provided by the common dialog control, or you can build custom dialogs using your own combinations of three specialized controls: the drive list box, the directory list box, and the file list box. You can work with files in Visual Basic by using the new object-oriented FSO objects such as Copy, Delete, Move, and OpenAsTextStream, among others, or by using the older existing functions such as Open, Close, FileCopy, GetAttr, and so forth...
