How to customize explorer window in read-only mode Winform

Bineeshcp Viswanath

Hello,

I need your help in how can we customize explorer window opened from C# winform application.

The code to open explorer window is:-

var directory = new DirectoryInfo(@"\\192.168.1.120\Banking_Team\WO_Team\ADIB\ADIB soft copy\ADIB Collect Plus Files Copies 25-05-17\Collect Plus\FinancingDocuments_1494740497798\174771");

directory.Attributes = FileAttributes.ReadOnly;

Process.Start(directory.ToString());

And the window is open like below. In that is I want to disable address bar and left panel in order to restrict user to navigate to other files.

Kindly reply.

create a Form

Add ListBox
private void PopulateListBox(ListBox lsb, string Folder, string FileType)

{

    DirectoryInfo dinfo = new DirectoryInfo(Folder);

    FileInfo[] Files = dinfo.GetFiles(FileType);

    foreach (FileInfo file in Files)

    {

        lsb.Items.Add(file.Name);

    }

}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PopulateListBox(listbox1, @"C:\TestLoadFiles", "*.rtld");
PopulateListBox(listbox2, @"C:\TestLoadFiles", "*.other");
}

It's probably much easier to write your own component then trying to control/restrict windows explorer.
