Open WPD Device in Windows Explorer from .NET

Question

Hello all. I am currently working on an application for managing a WPD device. I want to add an option to open the wpd device in windows explorer to view the saved files. Problem is that I can't find a way to open explorer pointing to the device's "folder". I have all information of the device (pnp device id, class name, etc.) Anybody knows a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Bernd

Someone seems to have posted an answer similar to this:

also you could try enumerating all the children of the "My Computer" node - WPD devices usually show up there. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms909867.aspx

Start with the desktop and then enumerate the my computer node and then the children of that. Maybe there is a property that will enable you to pick the child of My Computer that corresponds to the WPD device.
