Is there a way to obtain IExplorerBrowser interface of running or newly open explorer window for subsequent BrowseToXXX call?

Asking because in the previous question i was pointer to IExplorerBrowser, however it creates a child window, while Explorer's "Find Target..."behaviour i want to simulate (see previous) exhibits some level of control over newly open or existing Explorer window (i believe that right term is folder view, feel free to correct). Also loo开发者_开发百科king for other API(s) to accomplish BrowsingTo or similar behaviour.

This isn't possible. See Raymond Chen's blog post on the subject.

Aha, the program is using Explorer as a “view this folder for a little while” subroutine. Unfortunately, Explorer doesn’t work that way. For example, the user might decide to use the Address Bar and go visit some other folders completely unrelated to your program, and your program would just be sitting there waiting for the user to close that window; meanwhile, the user doesn’t realize that your program is waiting for it.
