My intent was to NOT have to use API workarounds. I already did this 
using Brad Martinez's VBExplorer as a base (with different APIs) and it 
just took too much coding for my liking. Thus, I went with ssware's 
folderview/fileview OCXs so I ended up with a leaner/smaller EXE that 
also gave me added functionality beyond what was doable in VBExplorer 
(or WE for that matter). Turned out to be a worthwhile investment, 
allowing me to build apps with fully customizeable built-in explorers.

Since it's imminent that the vbruntime will be deprecated soon, I've 
rewritten the app using these OCXs in VS2008 C++ MFC. Everything else I 
do revolves around MS Excel VBA (where these OCXs also work). I'd stick 
with VB6 if I knew that we can distribute the runtime without legal 
issues, but I'm prepared to move forward regardless. Given the learning 
curve is about equal for transitioning to VB.Net/C#/C++ I decided C++ 
is probably going to serve me best down the road since I don't plan to 
upgrade any 3rd party OCXs to Winforms compatible versions.
