Windows Explorer Integration

Is there a simple way to integrate the Windows Explorer type windows
into a VB.NET app?

I've tried using Internet Explorer (AxInterop.SHDocVw.dll) and browsing
to the local folder, which works OK; but when I try to browse to a
network share then I get security warning messages. As far as I can
tell, the only way to disable these warnings is to set the security
level of the intranet zone to low. But this isn't very practical.

Are there any other ways?

Hi,

Take a look at the vbpowerpack folder viewer and file viewer
controls.

Thanks for the reply. But this isn't what I was looking for. I have
coded something myself which is similar but behaves more like Windows
Explorer but it's still not Windows Explorer.

Any other ideas?
