IMHO, Class #32770 is the only "real" one.

Trouble is MS uses that for just about every dialog. For example, if my MD5Hash program is open, it's window class is #32770 since it's a dialog based utility.

But MilesAhead i can't follow you. It's technical for me.
Can I use or not the above code ?

I haven't looked through the code. You can try it as well as I can.

What the #32770 means is that nearly any time you create a program that uses a dialog box as the main window, it has class name #32770. That's just how Windows does it. That makes it difficult to distinguish one dialog from another. It could be a File Open dialog, or it could be just any program that's a dialog window.

It would probably be a better idea to make the user click on the dialog he wants to paste the folder path in. Even then it's likely to be funky. The Shell namespace crap makes it messy.
